I understand that the master tapes are around. The latest I heard was an email thus: "I [respondent] had to shelve plans for a reissue following discussions with Paul at Fellside. Apparently he has plans to issue it at some point. I figured that as he was a good friend of Peter B and he has a tape of the Suite (though I don't know the quality of his recording - it came from Peter Bellamy to him) it would probably be better not to tread on his toes. I pointed hi in the direction of the chap who made it available via the Box in case his was a better copy. I'm happy to have another conversation with Paul, though. If it looks like it might be a while before he can do anything I could always suggest I just run with it. I've already had the blessing of Ursula and Shirley Collins (for Dolly) and Jenny Bellamy (for Peter)."
