Thread Name: Young Tradition on CD
Subject: RE: Young Tradition on CD
I'm almost certain nothing got trimmed off any of the YT albums (especially as the first pair were quite short even by LP standards), it's only No Relation that got trimmed. The missing songs were The Cellar Door, Lovin' Bessie and Chaconne in G Minor. The Cellar Door is a sad loss, a John Clare poem set to music, excellent stuff.

The best approach would surely have been to have added the Chicken on a Raft songs to the YT/So Cheerfully Round pairing (they'd probably have fitted) and to have Galleries and No Relation uncut on the second release. But that would have required someone at the CD label actually giving a shit.
