4.0 out of 5 stars overlooked, March 11, 2004

this is a fine showcase for Yvonne Ellimans superb voice.Not the best collection of songwriting,but fairly solid tunes delivered by one of the best singers of the 70's.Robbie Robertsons "The Moon Struck One"and a cover of the Whos'"Cant Explain"(w/Pete Townshend on guitar) are a couple of good examples.Worth having for sure.

Good sophomore album from one of my favorite artists. The best tracks are More Than One, Less Than Five, Muesli Dreams, Happy Ending, and Love's Bringing Me Down. This is a very mysterious, casual album that seems to certifiably not want to chart any GUINNESS RECORDS, but I highly recommend it. It is all and all a good album except for tracks 1 and 8 that are just thrown in there to make you laugh. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice wrote I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE HIM for the JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR rock opera, and Yvonne sang that when she performed her part in the opera. A writing team by the name of MCIVER and HINE that wrote most of the songs on this album wrote I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE HIM BLUES for it, and were respectively sued by WEBBER and RICE. However, the short, silly song made it to the pressing of the album nevertheless. It is an excellent album, very silly and serious at the same time. Tracks 2, 4, and even 11 are good for abstract thinkers. I highly recommend that you buy this album, it is very very good and worth every penny!

5.0 out of 5 stars A surprise find, February 10, 2007

Decades ago, I found this at a local library and had to special-order and buy my own copy. I recently put it back into rotation, and the am reminded of the high quality of the songwriting, arrangement, and vocals. No one with pop credentials sings songs like "Moon Struck One" or "Love's Bringing Me Down" anymore. I don't think any of these songs made it to her greatest hits collections, which is a pity.

I'd like to see a CD re-release.
