Amazon advertising release from Edsel on 23rd Feb.
Any thoughts on provenance?

Just looked at this on Amazon, from the track listing it appears to be another repackaging of the From Cropredy To Portmeirion cd/Live Legends DVD from 1990.

After watching a few selections on youtube, it sounds to me like some work was done to improve the sound. The cropredy to ... C.D. sounds like it was lifted from the VHS soundtrack

As I understand it the Access All Areas series is not just a repackaging job, but the result of a deal between Edsel/Demon, Elm Street Media and ITV Studios, with all releases fully authorised and mastered from the original footage - unlike the previous Classic Rock Legends versions. The only one in the series I've seen so far is Caravan and that is a considerable upgrade on the previous release, in better quality and with an additional two tracks previously thought to have been lost.
