Liner Notes

This CD contains the original tracks of one of Richard's most beloved albums plus as a bonus some rare demo versions and unreleased tracks. But Richard didn't like the product of original producer GERRY RAFFERTY and did the whole thing all over again by leaving no brick unturned with new producer JOE BOYD. Linda is here sometimes swapping the vocal part with Richard, different instruments were used, lyrics were changed, etc. etc. Enjoy and listen - Make up your own mind and find out which versions you like the most from "GERRY SHOT OUT THE LIGHTS BEFORE JOE COULD EVEN PULL THE TRIGGER!"

A more complete version of the Woodworm demos can be found on the set Woodworm On The Bottom Line, which also includes soundboard recordings of a pair of shows from the '82 U.S. tour.
