| SPOILER (AMG EXPERT REVIEW:) |
Paul McCartney produced this debut album of twee
but pretty, romantic pop-folk. Besides "Those Were the Days" (which
actually originally appeared only on the British version, though it's
on the CD reissue now available throughout the world), the highlights
are Donovan's "Lord of the Reedy River" and "The Honeymoon Song,"
which McCartney himself had sung with the Beatles way back in 1963 on
the BBC. If there's a fault to be found, it's that there's too high a
percentage of pre-rock/pop standards � la "There's No Business Like
Show Business." As it turns out this was more due to the leanings of
McCartney than Hopkin, who preferred the more simply arranged folk
numbers such as the Donovan covers and the Welsh "Y Blodyn Gwyn." Also
on board is a rather nice composition, "The Game," by Beatles producer
George Martin, who contributed some piano and orchestra conducting to
the album.
[The CD reissue includes George Gershwin/Ira Gershwin's "Someone to
Watch Over Me" (which was on the original U.K. version of the LP, but
was taken off the American counterpart), as well as the "Those Were
the Days" B-side "Turn! Turn! Turn!" and versions of "Those Were the
Days" that Hopkin sang in Italian and Spanish. ]
[The 2010 reissue of Post Card was remastered by the same Abbey Road
team who remastered the acclaimed 2009 Beatles reissues and was
expanded by four bonus tracks: the canceled single "Fields of St.
Etienne," the single "Goodbye," and the B-sides "Turn! Turn! Turn!"
and "Sparrow." There were also accompanying digital downloads of the
French, German, Italian, and Spanish versions of "Those Were the Days.
