Particularly "The Donor" on the second CD ("Heartfood" if my memory serves me well) is absolutely amazing (think Johann Sebastian Bach meeting Brian Wilson). Highly recommended to anybody who likes great songwriting (if you like Joni Mitchell you will LOVE Judee Sill).

I saw her on The Old Grey Whistle Test when I was at school (a long, long time ago), and was impressed enough to buy her 'Jesus was a crossmaker' single, but sadly never got the albums until they were reissued on vinyl last year. The library having the double CD was a bonus! There's also some great unreleased stuff on this website

and also the 'Dreams come true' set.
