    Helen Merril cut 30 odd albums with no sign of a hit.But she’s important as having made one of the first Lennon/McCartney collections.She also did folk and country albums and has a website

    Helen, I’m a long time fan. I have many of your records and continue to enjoy your music. I don’t have the Mosaic sets but based on your personal recommendation will seek them out. I’ll post some more of your LP covers soon too! All my best to you.
