And just a year or two later, lo and behold, Rout Of The Blues made a sneaky reappearance on CD-R. Not that Barry Dransfield knew a thing about it until someone showed him a copy. Neither he nor Robin had been consulted about such a project. CM pays him no royalties, natch. Next thing he knew was a tiny cheque from the PRS for airplay. 'Wow, enough for a Chinese takeaway', he said. 'Sure makes up for all those years of unavailability'.

I have never actually seen this CD-R on sale at a retail outlet so have missed the opportunity of buying it then smashing it in front of the manager's eyes. But if I ever do, I will.
