‘In these recordings without amplification I could hear the natural resonance of the instruments and the subtleties in the vocals. They also played songs not heard in the dance halls: haunting, sad songs.’

Outtakes, alternate versions and rare tracks.

Anniversary LP edition.

Anniversary LP Edition.

CD from Sony.

This is a top-notch reissue, with scrupulous sound restoration, and a lyric sheet in card.
Intrepidly sourcing Cal Schenkel’s original cover photograph for maximum definition and colour, it’s never looked so good, either,
Highly recommended, even if you’ve already got a copy.

The original album cut AAA (fully analogue) from original master tape; and a bonus LP including previously unreleased alternate versions and outtakes from the recording sessions.
