The reissue of Connie Converse's *How Sad, How Lovely* on Third Man Records comes almost 51 years after the singer-songwriter's disappearance, marking the first reissue of this album in nearly a decade—in any format. The release comprises 20 tracks (including a bonus 7" single featuring the previously unreleased "House" and a new remix of "Playboy of the Western World" by Dirick Cummins) that have lost none of their poignancy and power. They showcase an artist who was light-years ahead of her time.
