Description:

From the new introductory series of the long-established Topic Records in the UK comes one of the UK's leading female folk singers! June Taber (1947-), who made a big hit in 1976 with Maddy Prior of Steeleye Span's duo, the Silly Sisters, released her first solo album on Topic in the same year, and went on to have a successful solo career, releasing a number of classic albums. Since then, he has steadily built up his solo career, releasing many classic albums, many of which were also released domestically in the 1980s and 1990s. This album is a selection of songs from his first solo album in 1976 to his latest solo album "To the Beach" (2011). It also includes songs from her second album with the Silly Sisters and her collaboration with the Oyster Band (James Carr cover). This is an all-time best album that could only be produced by Topic, which has released a large part of her discography.
