1992 (CD) (as "Songs from the Shows Volume 1") - Road Goes On Forever
RGF CD007, 1997 (2 CD set)
Abbiamo a che fare con due album che nel 1997 sono
stati ristampati in un doppio cd (copertina in basso a destra). I brani
appartengono al periodo 1977/1989 e sono tratti da apparizioni pubbliche (live,
film, apparizioni radio). Molto bello in particolare il volume 2 che
contiene pezzi di notevole intensità ("Bells of paradise"). Il booklet del cd
contiene una descrizione dei brani ed anche alcune riproduzioni di locandine che
pubblicizzavano gli eventi musicali
