    _Come to My Garden_ is her masterpiece, thanks to the godlike genius of
    Charles Stepney (though I'm very partial to her Rotary Connection years,
    also Stepney-produced). It has "Les Fleurs"; no worthwhile cd reissue
    except a Japanese one from the early 90's (which I missed @ auction when
    the bidding broke the $60 mark), though AIM (Aussie co.) has finally
    managed to get all the songs on the cd, albeit mastered from crackly vinyl
    w/terrible non-cover repros (the previous Blue Moon version dropped the
    last track, sounded like someone had spilled Pepsi on the tapes during
    certain songs, & had the worst pastel watercolor replacement cover art {a
    windmill!} imaginable). Might as well just go w/the vinyl reissue for now.
