Tim Hardin. At the forefront of contemporary artists. And just to celebrate the occasion, we're also introducing his first album for our label. "Suite for Susan Moore and Damion -We Are -One, One, All in One" represents more than simply Tim's first effort for us. It represents all that an artist would want to attain. A deeply personal statement. One lovingly brought to life and carefully nurtured in every step of its growth. t ., Tim Hardin considers this album the best he's ever done. And so do we. His loyal and continually growing audience will think so, too. But the thing that makes it even more special for everyone concerned is this: It's just the beginning.

Did you ever get the feeling :h .t you warted to disengage yourself from life? To withdraw into some kind of solitary contemplation just to think about everything for a while? Everything. You. Her. It. Them. Well that's how a poet feels, because he's no different from everyone else. What makes a poet different is that he takes the time to put it al down an paper. Beautifully. And what makes Leonard Cohen a very different poet is that he turns his poetry into songs. He did it for Songs of Leonard Cohen _. his first album. And it achieved a rare kind of success. (Everyone began picking up on it. Especially the song "Suzanne.") The first time we sprang him on you cold, and people had to get warmed up to this very unusual artist. Bu: now, there's actually a demand up front for Leonard Cohen. So here's the second Leonarc Cohen album for the growing number of people who have identified with him. And feel what he feels. But don't have that rare poetic vision. There could be as many as sa ssl 20,000,000 Leonard Coher_so in the United States. You may S; tióó even be him yourself.

Songs From a Room. The second Leon-:rd Cohen album.
