Mary Hopkin - No Love Is Sorrow - Non-Album Tracks (1970-1971)

This is the second in a series of four stray tracks albums for Mary Hopkin. I have many albums to post from many musicians. But I'm prioritizing this so I can then get to posting a couple of BBC albums from her.

Hopkin's time of commercial success was short. Her fortunes fell during the time period of this album. The first song, "Knock, Knock, Who's There," was a big hit, thanks to being chosen as the British entry in the 1970 Eurovision contest. It came in second in that contest, and reached number two on the British charts. But she hated the song, and hated singing it.

After that, I think her fortunes fell mainly because she began disengaging from the hit-making process of the music industry. Two more songs here were A-sides, "Think about Your Children" and "Let My Name Be Sorrow," but neither of those had much success. Tracks 2, 4, 6, and 7 were B-sides.  The rest of the songs weren't released at the time, but have come out as bonus tracks or on archival albums much later. In my opinion they're all good songs, and there's no reason they shouldn't have been released at the time, probably as part of a 1971 album. But like I said she was withdrawing from the music industry, and part of that was that she didn't release any album that year. This process would continue with her essentially retiring from her music career in 1972, and then keeping a very low profile after that.

This album is 39 minutes long.

I don't know any details about when or where the cover photo was taken. But just based on her appearance, I would guess it's from around this time period, when she was quite young.
