Avery was one artist who didn't fare too well on Olivia. Perhaps her blues style didn't
jive with the marketing of their mainly folky output. According to the LP jacket liner
notes stuffed in early Olivia albums (below), a release by Avery was planned for
1978. Pity it never happened.

album recorded, in 1993 called Gwen Avery Live at IMA
