It was one of the first CDs I went to find when I finally got a CD player in the car last month. Can I find it? It's vanished somewhere. I really really want to listen to it, there's not a duff track on there!

I LOOOOVE Tapestry, she is just a genius song writer and what a voice
though that picture of her feet on the front of the album used to scare me when I was a child...
(I sang Mozart's REquiem on Saturday Hausfrau, it was sublime)
