Her rendition of Fields of Gold is something I listen to when I need a spiritual lift – I still have difficulty controlling my tears when I hear it.

We eventually ended up at Tape Head Company on State Street, and while they didn't have it on vinyl, they did have one 8-Track copy left in the store.
Sausalito Summernight
When I got back to the states I searched several of the local record stores for the album and couldn't find it so I gave up.

I Saved My $$ for This Album
