    Glad to help. These are incredibly exciting times for Vickie, who is seeing 30 years of promoting Happy's work finally pay off.

    Bought this as a birthday present for dear friend of mine, who’s big into prog and jazz; loves Kate Bush and Jane Siberry. I think he’s gonna love it.

    Picked this up at the Numero pop-up in London last weekend, vinyl as they were out of the CD. Really enjoying it, great work.

    Sorry that you weren't able to get a copy, but I'm glad to hear that they've been selling. My wife is a world-class worrier, and was afraid that this project it was going to be a colossal failure for Numero.

    The vinyl is a really nice package, was only after the CD because Numero no longer do download codes (and I was on my way to catch a flight home with only a single carry on bag).

    Seems like your wife didn’t need to worry!

    But she loves it so much!

    Our friend Rev Peyton once dedicated his song The Worrying Kind to her.

    So people have had this and have been living with it for a while, what are your thoughts on the audio quality?

    Still enjoying it very much (bought the vinyl about 5 months back).
    This set was my first introduction to her music.
    Regarding the sound quality, I honestly almost get distracted from the artistry by the sound quality to be honest.

    The pressing quality is excellent, very clean and quiet vinyl.

    That's excellent, thank you very much. As I mentioned earlier, these four albums were recorded in a not particularly distinguished studio, in a mid-sized city after hours, and is proof that you can do a great job recording anywhere as long as you don't deliberately screw it up.

    @Equipoise Have you heard anything from Happy about her feelings on this release, or the reception it's received?
