It's amazing what you can do with 10 minutes on Photoshop isn't it? ;)

I remember feeling a bit disappointed when it came out on CD, as it contained the same material as on the LP. Since the album clocks in at just over 40 minutes I felt that there was plenty of room for some bonus tracks for us faithful devotees  :) . My memory is that the whole set at Broughton was amazing and that there are songs well worth putting out on a remastered CD. Maybe the recording didn't go well. I have a faint memory noticing Simon commenting that not all was recorded or there was recording trouble of some sort....
But a couple of "new" tracks (it's more than 25 years ago!) is needed for me to go and buy a copy. I've already got two. ;)

Australian I think. Isn't this the same label that put out the Fiddlestix compilation & Sandy & Trevor's Attic Tracks?

This is one of my favourite FC live albums. Essentially the Full House line up. A bit short but it has a real energy. Don't need a new copy though. my existing one (on Talking Elephant) is perfectly decent.

Unless it's been expanded!

I saw this was due for a re-release on the database at my local indie record shop when I was ordering the BBC box set.  I hope it is a longer version of the album...even though I only bought it about 6 months ago!

I'll bet it's not been remastered either then.

A close listen to my copy the other day suggested it was actually transferred from vinyl - I could hear the surface noise on Poor Will.  So if it is remastered then it may actually be worth buying.

I suspect it is just an overseas issue of the existing version.

Different bird.  :)  This is on Eagle Records which appears to be US.  The Australian reissue label is Raven Records www.ravenrecords.com.au .
