"Midge's label Musicfest was licensed through Chrysalis, who were only willing to put up a three single deal and no one else came forward to promote our wares. There are only three new compositions [on the 2004 CD], all the other tracks were poised in the wings, waiting to appear on the album that (almost) never was. (Did You) Take Me For A Ride, Send That Letter Home and The Reformation Waltz, were the new additions. The rest are twenty, or more, year old chestnuts."
