Track 18, Disc 19 of my Sandy box set has a flaw, which is described by a couple of Amazon commentators as follows:
"There appears to be a defect in track 18 of disc 19. There is a 10-second gap from 2:44 to 2:54, then a 2-second gap from 3:18 to 3:20. Does anyone know if this is a gap in the source tape, or a defect in the CD? Has anyone else noticed this in theirs?" 10 Jan 2011

Robert Burns says: "This was brought up on an earlier review and was found to be a defect in the original tape source. Considering the age of much of this material, and the fact that much of it was never meant to be released, I'm surprised that there aren't more defects."
Did anyone on this board receive a version without the flaw? Has anyone downloaded Track 18, Disc 19 from iTunes, and, if so, is it flawed?

John, there is no version without the flaw, whatever format you play it in: "Track 18 on disc 19, Full Moon has 2 drop outs. These were on the original source master so there was nothing that could be done to fix them. The track was left on as it is a rare home demo that, on the whole is a much better version. Unfortunately the problem with the track was not explained in the accompanying book. It is not a production error."http://www.sandydennyofficial.com/news/boxset-track-18-disc-19-full-moon/Someone on the Yahoo List suggested you should imagine her singing during the silent passages -- a nice idea. |

ok, shot in the dark here but, I am after the box set which as we all know is sold out. Amazon have a new one at £1,500.00 which I can't afford and the cheapest 2nd hand is almost £500k.....which I can't afford so does anyone know of anywhere or anyone looking to sell one? Like I say, I understand this is highly unlikely but if you don't ask...............  Cheers Chris |

I know there were a number of Issues on the original release, some tracks not playing, flimsy boxes etc and to be honest however authentic of the era the limited numbered framed print of the cover was, I doubt i will ever put it on my wall. I had no issues with the discs and it was a nice pack...if not packing. It does tend to sit there and tracks that were downloaded onto the mp3 player pop up once in awhile but I always go back to the original albums and only one or two of the demo tracks. Saying that most of my boxed sets get little play once bought, read and looked at listened to then it's back in the box, for fear of breaking anyhting. A reissue would be good for those who want it and missed out.

That is not true of my box sets, particularly the Al Stewart and Ian Hunter ones |

If I buy it again it will be a luxury item or an investment- I have everything featuring Sandy already- Fairport, Strawbs, Solo- often in more than one format and/or edition. Yes I was disappointed with the broken tray, the scratched discs and the boring generic card sleeves. It would be nice if a reissue rectified these things. |
