① is

Margo Guryan's only album (1968), highly regarded as a female soft rock or whisper-style female singer-songwriter. She is famous for her hits "Sunday Morning" with Spanky & Our Gang and "Think of Rain" covered by Claudine Longet, but her sweet whisper voice will make anyone into a lolita fanatic instantly fall for her. The songs that quote Bach's chorales and the songs produced by John Simon are also extremely dreamy. Four bonus tracks added. ]

② is

'Margo Guryan is known as the writer of the hit song "Sunday Morning" for Spanky & Our Gang and Oliver. As a professional writer, when selling songs to producers and artists, she would arrange the songs as they would actually be recorded, and even add backing music to make the image easier to understand, a method that was often seen during her time at the Brill Building. This album is a collection of demos that compiles them. ① to ⑮ are from the 60s, ⑯ to 70s, and was recorded in 2001, but her whispering singing style and gentle melody have never changed. Many of the demos from the 60s were also sung on his only solo album, Take a Picture (1968). The simple finish of the excellent songs such as ⑥⑫, which were covered by Claudine Longet, and the slightly Beatles-like songs, makes them feel even more familiar. The bonus song is a co-written song with Bobby Weinstein, known for his work with Teddy Randazzo. ]
