LP version. Following Open Up Your Colouring Book (MA 077CD/LP, 2014), Glasgow's magnificent Pearlfishers return with Love & Other Hopeless Things. It's their eighth on Marina Records - a superb comeback full of masterful, classic pop music, driven by main man David Scott's exceptional songwriting and arrangements. The album kickstarts with it's beautiful title track - a song in the tradition of British songwriters like Paddy McAloon and Michael Head - about ordinary people dreaming and drowning in the big city. "Another foggy Monday morning/ Sail the ferry to town/ And think of all the people's dreams..." The song is led by a Bacharach-like flugel horn motif played by Colin Steele who recorded an entire album of Pearlfishers songs in terrific jazz arrangements: Diving For Pearls (MA 082CD/LP, 2017). Love & Other Hopeless Things also features a beautiful string quartet which recalls the graceful understatement of George Martin's classic pop arrangements. "Could Be A Street Could Be A Saint" is a celebration of life during the pre-Christmas days on Glasgow's Sauchiehall Street. You can hear the influence of Scottish popsters Pilot whose stacked acoustics and harmonies defined pop sheen in the '70s. The track finds it's counterpoint in "A Walk Into The Blue Night" where you enter a magical world of "sainted streets" where songs start to flow - with an Ennio Morricone-like combination of minor key harmonies and orchestration. "You Can Take Me There" proves that you can create captivating soundscapes with just piano, vocals and a tiny bit of guitar. The track flows on a sublime Gilbert O'Sullivan groove - also reminiscent of Laura Nyro, one of Scott's heroes. A long-lasting Pearlfishers tradition continues with the inclusion of a quirky instrumental: "A Woman On The Verge Of Becoming A Cyclist" (talking about quirky!) sounds a lost '70s movie theme -culminating in a brass band fanfare. Love & Other Hopeless Things also features two splendid songwriting-collaborations. "Once I Lived In London" was written with Bill DeMain - Nashville broadcaster, Grammy-nominated author, and member of US duo Swan Dive; the beautiful piece of chamber pop recalls London in the '80s. "Sometimes It Rains In Glasgow" was written and performed with Joni Mitchell/Carole King-influenced Becci Wallace. The wistful ballad "Another Sunflower" closes the album on an emotional note. Revisiting the Pearlfishers' seasonal album A Sunflower At Christmas (MA 063CD/LP, 2004), this New Year's Eve song is augmented by a stunning string arrangement.

Small but durable
The bag is alot smaller than I anticipated it to be, and the color is not as vibrant as expected as well. The adjustable strap extends the bag to about hip level. It's pretty sturdy and the side pockets are very convenient. The zipper is a little weird, because when zipped the end sides of if the zipper don't connect with the bag, leaving small openings for items to fall out if the bag is on its side.

Awesome bag!
Color: I19004-coffee
Great bag, so hard to find a good leather bag nowadays. This is it! Love the color, the pockets and the length of the strap. It allows me to use as a cross body with ease.

Smaller then you think!
Color: Dark Brown
This purse is GORGEOUS!
I just wished it was bigger. I guess that’s my fault for not paying attention to the measurements.
Even in the pictures with the models it looked bigger
Not enough room for me so I sent it back

Shipping department dropped the ball
Color: Dark Brown, Color: Dark Brown
I am ashamed that Amazon would claim to be an outfit that deals in luxury bags. The packaging and merchandise handlers really dropped the ball. The purse was very nice and well made. ( with the exception of the long strap 👎 ) it’s a shame this bag was tossed in the box that way I received this leather bag it was all wadded up and wrinkled in all the wrong places such as a huge wrinkle across the bottom. $139. For a bag that’s looks like it’s been in the corner of someone’s closet for months or maybe like the UPS truck ran over it. Not cool. Luxurious expensive merchandise you would expect at least a little care and packaging and handling. Disappointed

Absolutely soft leather
Color: Coffee
I ordered the coffee color, absolutely love it.Super soft- I have ordered brands that cost 4xs as much & returned because of stiff leather. The zippers simply glide.I love all the different zipper pockets, I like having a place for everything, my phone fits perfectly in the back side zipper area. The front magnetic for my key fob.Zipper above to get out quick cash.I had a hard time deciding which color I wanted! It's roomy enough inside but not too big where Im going to carry things I dont need. It's nice having 2 straps to trade out- im starting with the guitar strap- like that it is adjustable straps & on swivel hooks.And you can really smell the genuine leather. For my preference I would have liked it to have been 2 to 3 inches shorter height wise as I was looking to replace a few bags I used when flying but this is perfect for an everyday crossbody.This bag looks very well made. Nothing fancy on the inside. Plan on searching for this brand in smaller size and some soft colors for spring & summer.
