Well yet another Mary Hopkin rarity has appeared .....Thanks to a wonderful friend in France
who informed me of its existence...

The composer is Marc Cerrone it was recorded in 1988/1989 in 3 formats....

OK, I have since I was informed of this release, been doing my home work, The CD seems to have been re-issued several times since its release in 1988. On some I have noticed the track EVOLUTION missing from the credits and also she does not get a mention, so I have ordered a copy from Amazon even though one track is missing to ensure the CD is the right one and has 'our' Mary's vocal on there.

Those wonderful people at AMAZON have not let me down, it has arrived safe and sound, and YES with the missing track ... so if you see "THE COLLECTOR" advertised without "Evolution" you can rest assured it is on there, also the receipt had it listed as "ix The Collector" I have seen this advertised on various sites as well so we should have no problem in getting a copy also the disc states this is a reissue 1999. A friend has also kindly passed this link where he managed to get a copy http://www.spindlerecords.com/

Thanks to the Internet and all us wonderful MH fans we have found yet another jewel !!!

So far I have not seen a mention anywhere of the video but I live in hope!!
