Wish I could. One of the few albums she made on which she didn't have a bass player.

One of her best! Unfortunately quite difficult to find.

why did she always use a bass player- was that just her style or what? is there an offical statement on this

Some (or one) of her sleeve notes mention that she normally played live without a bass player but one was included for recording sessions. No explanation. Her bass seems fine on "Dearly beloved".

stewreorjack: is the album "fusion" how does the mellotron fit in to the picture

[JSngry]

I've got it, it's great, exactly what you would expect/hope for out of that lineup, but frankly, I don't remember the mellotron. It's not prominent at all.

[andybleaden]

Its this one I think. Think I saw it, sampled it feelin really excited and left it in the pile. BUt I have done that to many many records and cds

Exactly how I would have answered the question. I can't remember the mellotron. It's a pretty straight ahead session. I wouldn't call it fusion.

I take this is a vinyl only. Would love to see it on cd.

[Jim Alfredson]

It's her best album, imo. The mellotron is on one track, just a string sound behind the organ, nothing special. Harold Vick plays his nuts off on this one and Billy Higgins is his usual jovial self.

It's a great record.
