I tried to buy the album on a UK high street, and nobody could find it in the lists. Is it yet to be released in the UK?

You are not alone.
I tried the big record shops here in Liverpool city centre a couple of weeks ago with same result.
I meant to try the shops in Manchester yesterday but I forgot.
I shall try Liverpool city centre again this weekend.
Has anyone in the UK managed to buy the album in a record shop?
If not I reckon we will have to go up the Amazon.

Hi Ken,
I also tried but was unsuccessful but fortunately one of our Irish friends sent me a copy which I'll pass on to you.
It's enjoyable and if you like it then you'll probably buy the proper CD.
Maybe I'll leave it behind the bar over the weekend along with Randy Newman and Teddy Thompson.
PS the problem re Tommy has been sorted, he's already committed himself to Paul Weller at the arena.
I now have a problem....

The album is due for release on 27 October in UK and can be pre-ordered at Amazon.co.uk and Play.com (both £10.99). Interesting that Play.com show a different cover - a photograph of Sharon.
It can be bought from USA via Amazon.com $9.99 new (also cheaper used if you prefer).
Hope this helps.

Doh!
Thanks Dave
For some reason I presumed it had already been released in the UK.

I downloaded the album from iTunes last Friday. It's pretty impressive, although I can't say that I really enjoy her treatment of her joint compositions with Leonard.

Hi,
I've just got this CD from CD Baby. It cost less than £9, and that was including post from the USA.
It's one of the best albums I've ever bought.
Thank you so much Sharon!

When I had a look at this one on Amazon.co.uk, I was interested to see that the very next album listed is the Webb Sisters' 2006 debut album ... offered at only £4.98. Presumably there are a lot of us out there buying both as a 'friends-of-Leonard' bundle ... and Amazon's statistical-analysis program has picked this up.

This is now released, it was also on sale on UK shows (with new cover -I prefer Leonard's drawing of Sharon on her digipack self-printed CD).
The UK distributor is VIBRANT RECORDS.

Shame that for the European cover the original picture wasn't kept.

Saw a bit of discussion regarding the hummingbird design over the heart and chains. I am Dianne Lawrence and I designed the hummingbird for Leonard for the 1979 album Recent Songs. He called me on day and asked if I would design a hummingbird as a logo for him and for the cover of his album. I was also doing portraits at the time and offered to do a portrait as well. He ended up using the portrait for the cover and the hummingbird on the inside cover. He also continued to use the image as his logo in other ways. He has several paintings of mine.

Since I bought this album at Sharon R's Glasgow concert as well as Caffeine, and have just finished listening to it, I thought I would note how much I've enjoyed it as well. Summertime is great, Invisible Tattoo is fabulous, and The Train and Party for the Lonely are both very clever. I liked Sustenance here better than I did in the concert, and Alexandra Leaving on this album is the best solo version by her that I've heard- without the later ornamentation she added on the Grand Tour that I think actually detracts.
But Take the High Road is the stand-out- I just love that song. I listened to it three times running before carrying on with the rest of the album.
