This I already have from 1997. In the proper 3CD jewel case the first release came in. (If it's the same set, which I think it is). I rather like the part where Ashley tells the story of the group.

Ahem!! The Cropredy Box Old Boys XVI

Not sure Vikki Clayton, Cathy LeSurf and I are terribly amused by that!!

I think that the term "boys" as used there is in the wider, non gender specific meaning much used in these more enlightened times.
 isn't it lads?

Yes, it's a bit like the phrase 'you guys', used to address a mixed company. I'm given to using this myself. Less of a mouthful than the humorous 'guys and guyesses', which is nice, but  potentially even less PC.

Thanks for posting this - -it was mentioned in a discussion on another forum little while ago, and it's nice to see firm details. I have to say this is more essential for me than the upcoming Fairport box.

I think it may be finally time to buy some Pentangle!

Marian Segal and Jade are getting the 3CD anthology treatment from Cherry Tree, in late August.  Details from Spin CDs (I know the link looks wrong, but it works):

Press release:

-----

In the pantheon of rare Folk Rock albums from the genre’s golden era of the early Seventies, FLY ON STRANGEWINGS by Jade is a bona fide classic.

Largely ignored on its release on DJM in1970, the album is now widely acclaimed, which has led collectors and connoisseurs to consider Jade’s main singer and songwriter, Marian Segal, as a much-overlooked talent.

FLY ON STRANGEWINGS is now treated to a deluxe 3-CD edition which finally tells the full story of Marian Segal’s musical career. Compiled and annotated with Marian’s involvement, this new package offers a second disc of early recordings of Marian with fellow Jade member Dave Waite, while Disc Three brings the story more up-to-date with solo and Marian Segal Band recordings.

Disc One re-presents the classic Fly On Strangewings album with seven contemporaneous bonus tracks, two of which are previously unissued.
Before becoming Jade, Dave Waite and Marian (or Marianne) Segal were a duo, playing the university circuit and in London clubs at the height of the Swinging London era. Their music was a fusion of British and American folk, but already contained many original elements,including superlative vocals, in the vein of Sandy Denny and The Strawbs. This period is remembered on Disc Two, recordings which have been out of print for a decade. Four track sare previously unissued.

 Disc Three includes two historic mid-70s recordings with Jeff Wayne (of War of The Worlds fame).

The albums include a host of session talent from the 1970s including Dave Mattacks, Herbie Flowers, Clem Cattini, Pete Sears, John Wetton, Chris Spedding and Terry Cox as well as sweeping string arrangements by Phil Dennys (Rodriguez).

Ah lovely! The original of 'Better Side of Me' I haven't heard that for 40 odd years.

Hooray for Marianne!!

I'd find it hard to justify paying what Amazon are asking as I'd only be getting it for the non-album extras, but might just go for it at that price.

[RobertD]

Not sure if streaming availability counts as a reissue, but most of Bob Seger's catalog is now available for streaming and on Itunes, which was never the case before. Sadly he still deems a few of them such as Noah and Back In '72 as unworthy of reissue of any kind, despite knowing that fans would eagerly snatch them up.

Dilemma. Cancel my amazon order or wait for the price to drop between now and release date, as it so often does??

I'd leave the order open but put a reminder on the calendar to see what's happening come, say, September the 15th.
