Annotation

℗ 2009 Mercury Records Ltd. © 2009 Mercury Records Ltd.

Remastered and expanded to co-incide with the band taking this fine album on the road again. Augmented with brand new, extensive sleevenotes it includes a second disc of 13 previously unreleased radio sessions and live tracks from the BBC archives, documenting the first steps by this hard-working, ever-popular band on their long and continuing career.

"Expecting To Fly" was recorded at Ridge Farm Studios in the glorious summer of '95 (except for "Talking To Clarry" which was done in the grim autumn that followed)/ The beds were soft, the food was tasty and the home-made industrial strength, purple cider gave us some headaches we won't wanna forget. 'Nuff said.
