Well, the release date is listed as Feb 7th, but I ordered it from Talking Elephant, and it has turned up this morning! Haven't listened to it yet (though I will soon). But I can reveal that there are only 5 tracks repeated from the original Saturday Rolling Around album, together with Cut Across Shorty from the 1997 reunion which was previously released on The Cropredy Box.
And unlike TE's usual reputation this actually has a very informative booklet including Nigel Schofield's notes about how he has chosen which performance to include, and what he did to clean up the Broughton Castle tracks.

I've had a listen now, and it is a good companion to the original album. Sound quality is variable, but given the quality of the source material, that's hardly surprising.

No sign of mine from TE today but that may be hardly surprising as I only seem to get one postal delivery per week these days. Hopefully soon though. |

I don't know if mine arriving early might have been because I also ordered a couple of other albums at the same time - Two's Up Two by Simon Care and Gareth Turner, which I'm enjoying as I write, and Dorie Jackson's Stupid Says Run, which is lined up for next. I'm a big fan of Kaprekar's Constant, with whom she sings, and this was written and recorded with most of KC, so should be good too. |

Still waiting...
And I actually did receive some mail today which is a miracle in itself.

The eagle is presumably trapped in my local sorting office. Talking Elephant told me it should have landed today but nope. |

Well this has turned into a saga of frustration and incompetence, though it probably would not be diplomatic for me to go into details here, save to say that I still do not have a copy of the CD and Royal Mail are amongst the guilty parties. |
