Never released as far as I know. Ian Rennie and I looked at the possibility, as did Simon Hart when he was at Terrapin Trucking. At the time the costs involved were prohibitive, the main stumbling block being the silent footage that was included. This had some sort of separate copyright agreement and cost an arm and a leg per second to license. I believe that the "Second House" showing is the one that the BBC still has, not the original.

I'm not too bothered about the latter but judging from last year's live performances and in particular the performance at Cropredy I think BL might be a cracker, albeit a less "electric" interpretation than the album (fiddle solos substituting for guitar solos).

Well, I have done my duty to King and Country and ordered both new albums, even though I think there's a mighty fine chance I'll absolutely loathe one of them (you know which one).  Will be thrilled to the core if I don't of course, and am pretty certain I'll enjoy the BL.  Happy to give the boys an anniversary pay day though.  I hope they don't spend it all at once...

As I find a whole album of Swarb vocals a bit heavy going I know I will end of playing the new live version of BL much more. That's not to understate the massive contribution he made but the last tour showed Chris Leslie's vocals are perfect for this album.

Well I already committed heresy in October when I said the following:
