I'd just like to say that I'm still seeding this, and will do indefinitely, so that everyone who wants can get this fantastic orchestrated version of Episode Of Blonde and the other goodies. The only full version of Speak Darkly My Angel? The great percussive Almost Ideal Eyes where EC is struggling with the wordy first chorus but nails the others is great fun too. And opening a show with Favourite Hour obviously takes a lot of guts. (Great orchestral arrangement for that too, by Steve)

Having said that, I can't see why he chose those three North songs; they'd be right at the bottom of my ranking list...But they're all a lot better than on the record, so I'm glad he did!

Jump on, if you haven't already...and does anyone have a copy ofthe first set?
