So does anyone have it by now? I've seen it advertised on eBay now.
Not that I am buying it. The remastered L&L from a years ago was definite as far as I'm concerned - now that was a release which was welcome after the initial L&L CD (which even had a picture of the wrong line up). As were the other remasters. Completely content with that.
But stop milking that cow now: how much more definite can you go?
It's the same with some other classic albums. Take Cream's Disreali Gears. Had it on CD in the Cream Remasters series released 1997 (which already replaced an earlier Disreali CD in their catalogue). Then this box set came out with all released and a few unreleased Cream tracks, including the whole Disreali Gears again - I bought it for not very much for the extras, wouldn't pay full price.
And then just a little later this 2CD Deluxe set comes out. I guess mono and stereo (duh). That's one 1967 album released about 3x in 5 years time. Fick them with an u instead of an i.
Same with The Who. I didn't buy the first CD versions, content as I was then with my old vinyl. But the remasters in 1996ish were nice. Once more, a few years later these silly 2CD Deluxe things get released. And I bet there'll be a Who's Next 3CD box within 5 years time.
Beach Boys' Pet Sounds has been milked dry that way too.
And if this one's a seller again, I bet there's a 3CD Liege & Lief come its 40th Anniversary.

I agree that the deluxe L&L is a rip-off, but The Who deluxe editions were pretty good: 5.1 mix on Tommy plus the usual listen-once-only outtakes & demoes; extras and a complete contemporaneous unreleased concert on Who's Next; the complete concert for the first time on Live at Leeds. The difference with L&L is that there's nothing in the deluxe edition to tempt existing owners. They should have waited for Cropredy and re-released the album with Friday night's live version ... |

I haven't long bought L&L the remastered CD version, so I doubt I will buy another, but I also thought Chris While was excellent - why wasn't she singing on Saturday instead of Vicki Clayton, who had a good bluesy voice, but was not really suited to the softer more expressive pieces?

I would think because Vikki has done a long stint with the band being Sandy's stand in, and now she is emegrating to New Zealand, she won't be at Cropredy much in the future, so it's nice to let her have this one last (for a while) go. |

No mention of In Other Words (Fly Me To The Moon) on the packaging of the new deluxe version. Either it never was, it's been scrapped, or it's a 'secret' track.

Actually Friday was recorded. I was at the front (stage right as they say) and a rather pretty brunette was in the pit recording the L&L performance. She was there the entire time (of L&L) and changed angles. So while not the full professional job of Saturday there is a full recording. By who though, I do not know.

The Liege and Lief set will feature as an hour long Mike Harding Show Special some time in the future. The date has not been fixed yet.
Eyes peeled to the BBC's Folk site for more details, everyone.

I spoke to him in the Musicroom tent and he said late September, early October. |

It's always difficult to be sure due to the inevitably poor sound quality of hearing through the PA, but I'd agree that she sounded very like Sandy; in fact, I'd go so far as to say that had Sandy lived until 2007, I doubt very much that she would have sounded nearly so good. Previous to that evening I had thought that Kate Rusby was "dream casting" for Sandy's vocals, but now that I've heard it I think that Chris's voice was even more appropriate. |

Hrmph. I don't think this is a very productive line of speculation. How can any of us know what she would have sounded like - or how much more she would have achieved - if she'd lived? |
