'The definitive edition of a long lost treasure that's highly recommended' - Ptolemaic Terrascope

'If you're down and troubled, need a helping hand or just want a damn good listening experience, this album is absolutely essential. It's a complete mystery as to how it has been under the radar for so long' - Shindig

'Beautifully recorded and arranged, But That Is Me combines 11 intense, melodic original compositions with a truly outstanding cover of God Only Knows. Her songs convey a powerful sense of emotional longing and loss, with cryptic lyrics that are resigned but never maudlin. The material spans gorgeous pop, existential ballads and even experimental rock on the extraordinary If Not By Fire' - Galactic Ramble

'Her mind-blowing If Not By Fire appeared on [the Saint Etienne-compiled] The Trip. It's from an album called But That Is Me, which includes a great cover of God Only Knows, an almost impossible feat! She did a few equally intriguing non-album singles, including Coffee Cups, which is very proto Kate Bush. Most of the album is, too' - Bob Stanley, Saint Etienne
