The Circle is Unbroken
Live and Studio 1967-1972
While there is nothing 100% new
on this CD, it does bring together an odd mix of the demo
tracks that were formerly on The Chelsea Sessions and
a live CD (from 1972?) previously available as First Girl
I Loved.
Release date: October 2005

Review: Record Collector January
2006 Covering a
period of five years, this two-disc set is firmly divided into
two major areas. The first covers the 1967 Chelsea Demo
Sessions and features sometimes dramatically altered songs
and arrangements from the final commercial releases. For
example, First Girl I Loved arrives without the bass
contribution of Danny Thompson, while the Blues for the Muse
features the addition of an extra verse subsequently tripped for
the final release. The bonus track, recorded in 1968, is a
medley featuring All Too Much, Take Your Burden to the Lord
and Light From the Lighthouse - recorded during sessions
for the album Wee Tam & The Big Huge. Disc Two features
tracks, mostly from a gig in Calgary, Canada in 1972. Intriguing
bonus tracks on the second disc include Oh Did I Love a Dream
and the Hag with the Money, both of which never
appeared on the group's studio albums. Both tracks were played
somewhere in Canada...or maybe the USA, possibly in a radio
station studio or.....
