This is 'heads up' for all the fans and friends of Ian Giles, Graham Metcalfe and Claire Lloyd, the incomparable 'Folly Bridge' whose tapes have worn out or gone to that chewed-up tape heaven. Doug Bailey of our favourite Folk recording studio, Wild Goose, has remastered the two tapes released in the early days of Wild Goose and produced a limited run of CDRs for only a tenner (sterling that is!) each! He originally did the work as wedding present for Graham and Lucinde to take a 'proper' recording to Canada after their wedding but was persuaded (after a jar or two!) to release the whole kit and caboodle to the adoring general public. Here's what he has to say;

CDR352CDR 'All In The Same Tune / Unabridged'

'This album is a re-release on CD of two albums which were originally released on cassette in 1991 and 1992. The album has been re-mastered from the original tapes.
These two albums were recorded in the very early days of WildGoose. All in the Same Tune was the first album to carry a WildGoose catalogue number, WGS252MC. WildGoose will shortly be celebrating its 100th album milestone and it seemed fitting that this album should carry a catalogue number of WGS352CD.
It is also the first album for which I have decided to do a limited CDR run. I have done this in order to satisfy the select number of people who I know have worn out their cassettes and would like to replace them. I hope you enjoy it without the wonderful tape hiss'.
