Description: A repackaged now in a gatefold sleeve with lyrics booklet \- re\-issue of this fine gem of an album. Stripped\-down and bare, or \x22\x22nearly naked\x22\x22 as she puts it, these songs are straight from Mary herself, recorded at home or with friends. With just the barest instrumentation, mostly herself on guitar, Mary\x27s voice shines through on 10 of her own songs. Friends Benny Gallagher and Brian Willoughby help out on songwriting and guitar on one track each, but the rest is pure Mary. Mary\x27s son, Morgan Visconti, produced track 5, \x27Gold and Silver\x27. He said \x22\x22Mary recorded the basic guitar and vocal in about 10 minutes during the sessions which later became You Look Familiar. \x22\x22It clearly stood out as a song that was so pure that it worked better without any production around it \- the other songs being quite dense. Later we decided to hold it back from the album for that reason.\x22\x22 Rescued from darker reaches of her attic, these recordings have no master back\-up, which means they will stay as they are... for now.
