2008 digitally remastered and expanded edition of Claire's 1973 sophomore album, a masterpiece of Folk Rock and the art of songwriting featuring music of both innocence and maturity. Produced by Paul Samwell Smith (who had recently worked with Cat Stevens), October is a highlight of Claire's early career and is certain to appeal to those who appreciate the art of the singer/songwriter. The possessor of one of the finest voices in popular music, Claire Hamill signed to Island records at the age of 16, recording two albums which featured contributions from John Martyn, Free and Terry Reid. With her songs covered by Eva Cassidy and cited by Kate Bush as an influence, this reissue is the first part of a program that sees the reissuing of Claire's work by Esoteric Recordings.
