Unknown Gem

As of March 2009, this underrated Judy Collins album remains out of print. It was once briefly available on CD. This seems to be the only place where one can get the entire collection of songs. Although not everything is up there with Judy’s best material, there are some real gems on this recording not to be missed by anyone who loves her. Particularly touching is Judy’s cover of Elton John’s “Come Down In Time.” “Everything Must Change” and “King David” are also sensitive and beautiful recordings. Otherwise, this is a sometimes-awkward mix of styles, even moving into commercial pop territory (“Special Delivery”). Recommended for Judy Collins fans, but not the best place to start if you want to get to know her very best work.
