an acoustic guitar (and very discreet background), to an interpreter who is already 11 years previously published his first book of poetry and has this drive actually only included to earn some money, because he could not live by his poetry alone or wanted, and The result is one of the most memorable and controversial to this day the most influential singer / songwriter albums of all time! For quick success of the album, especially in Canada and Europe, has perhaps contributed that Judy Collins with "Suzanne", "Sisters Of Mercy" and "Hey, That`s No Way To Say Goodbye" at least three songs on this album previously has published on their albums "In My Life" (1966) and "Wild Flowers" (1967).

For the special edition, which is laid out like a mini-book, all recordings were remastered, and there is also two previously unreleased bonus tracks, with which the original album, which had at least one of those times longer than average playing time of 41 minutes probably really would have been too long.

Incidentally, the above and further older albums have been remastered and re-released by Judy Collins a few years ago, highly recommended, as of course (should not have wer`s) the "Songs of Leonard Cohen"
