Mary Hopkin - Now and Then (2009)

Now And Then comprises 14 gems recorded between 1970 and 1988 and is the third of the 'Archive' albums. The tracks that make up these three, including Valentine and Recollections were produced mostly by her then husband Tony Visconti.
Now And Then features three of Mary's own songs, as well as songs from other legendary names including Bert Jansch, Tom Paxton, Jim Croce and John Kongos. Mary's updated interpretation of 'Happy Birthday' (produced by Benny Gallagher) closes the album. 'If You Love Me', 'Tell me Now' and 'Wrap Me in Your Arms' are the same tracks as were released in 1976.
"There were about 30 hefty 2-inch tapes weighing heavily on my mind, and also on my bedroom ceiling," recalls Mary. "They had been gathering dust in my loft for many years and one morning I woke up to an ominous creaking sound - a huge crack had appeared in the ceiling. So, with some prodding from my daughter Jessica, we decided to release them before the ceiling fell in."
