	The performances, it seems to me, could not be bettered.
	—Gary Higginson, MusicWeb International (December 2016)

	The music speaks of a salubrious and dignified creative imagination. Carey Blyton knew music’s art and craftsman’s measure and wrote nothing ugly or dull or at odds with art or craft.
	—Rob Barnett, MusicWeb International (December 2016)

Fand Music Press has played a big part in the production of this CD of world première recordings of music by Carey Blyton. Produced on the Sleeveless Records label in collaboration with the Carey Blyton Trust, this new CD is a really premium-quality production.

In common with other recent issues produced in association with Sleeveless (BAX: Works for Cello and Piano and From Bohemia to Wessex), the new CD is another particularly high-quality affair: it includes a lavish 16-page full-colour booklet and top-quality presentation throughout (see sample images and track samples below). As much of the music on the CD is based on the artwork of Hiroshige, the design of the CD’s physical presentation is also based on his watercolours.
