get one just before stock ran out.
Availability: As rare as rocking horse shit!
Minus
One
Explanation: Originally available from mp3.com - now no longer
available. It's full of rare, unusual and, well, uncommerical songs. If you're
into Fisher you'll love this. If you've never heard their stuff before then
it's best to start with True North.

to hear the songs - ask on the message board for details.
One (original)
Explanation: Originally available from mp3.com - now no longer
available. An excellent album, some say the best.

reunion.
One (re-release)
Explanation: Once again available.Following massive demand One was
re-released at the end of January 2002 (about the same time December was
delisted). Same as the original with the addition of IWLY instrumental, purists
will also notice a different back cover!
Availability: Not currently available on mp3.com, but still makes the
original even more sought after...
True
North
Explanation: Fisher's first album to go on general release. It's a
bloody masterpiece and I'm chuffed that my name made it into the thankyou
credit bits. Very groovy.

of high street and web retailers. Currently the cheapest way to source in from

be a pre-release CD single probably for promotional purposes when Fisher first
joined Farmclub.

the reference I've found to it on a CD with artwork.

I
Will Love You Promo CD Single - signed by Kathy Fisher

of friends of mine during my wedding. Later in the evening, another friend said
that she had an extra wedding present for us that just had to be opened now -
it was a signed CD single! She had craftily been exchanging emails with Kathy.
Oodles of thanks to Natasha and to Kathy for adding yet another amazing event
to an amazing day.
