Thread Name: Young Tradition on CD
Subject: RE: Young Tradition on CD
Sleeve notes on the two Castle CDs mentioned don't seem to give info re mastering. I don't think they sound like vinyl re-recorded, but don't have the finest of hearing myself.

As to contents of the CDs, I don't have the vinyl to compare with, but at 22 tracks totaling 72 minutes I can't think that a huge amount was dropped on the Young Tradition/So Cheerfully Round disc, but would be interested to know what is missing. The Galleries/Chicken on a Raft/No Relation disc weighs in at 78 minutes, 30 tracks. I suspect that the No Relation part took a bit of a pruning, but would again be interested to know.

Out of interest I looked the discs up on Amazon UK; both are available used, and someone is asking £131.84 for the second disc. Well I like them OK, but not that much; maybe I should be selling!
