‘Beautifully recorded and arranged, But That Is Me combines 11 intense, melodic original compositions with a truly outstanding cover of God Only Knows. Her songs convey a powerful sense of emotional longing and loss, with cryptic lyrics that are resigned but never maudlin. The material spans gorgeous pop, existential ballads and even experimental rock on the extraordinary If Not By Fire’ – Galactic Ramble

‘Her mind-blowing If Not By Fire appeared on [the Saint Etienne-compiled] The Trip. It’s from an album called But That Is Me, which includes a great cover of God Only Knows, an almost impossible feat! She did a few equally intriguing non-album singles, including Coffee Cups, which is very proto Kate Bush. Most of the album is, too’ – Bob Stanley, Saint Etienne

Mandy More’s sole album was released without fanfare in the UK in June 1972. Gorgeously melodic and sung with power and emotion, it has developed a devoted following and makes its long-awaited CD debut here. An enigma for decades, Mandy’s story is told for the first time in the accompanying booklet, which also contains previously unseen photographs. The set is completed by five non-LP single sides and an entire second disc of alternative takes and demos from the time of the album, making it truly essential for all fans of classic singer-songwriting.
