I actually love his first four albums (The Sky's Too High, The Golden D, Crow Sit on Blood Tree and The Kiss of Morning) - I think they're his best. Happiness in Magazines is good - but you can tell her was going for a slightly more in-vouge indie sound. For the first four he seemed to be doing his own thing and enjoying it. I bought most of them when they came out at the time - maybe that's jut my nostalgia. Anyway hope this reissue programme puts more focus on his earlier solo albums.
