The album Hands of the Craftsman has now been expanded to include some of the additional material made available in the book of the album. The number of tracks has been doubled, but the price hasn’t! That’s because although there are a couple of tracks there that were recorded recently, most of the additions are still from the 1980s sessions that were afflicted with ‘sticky shed syndrome’, which degraded the quality of the master tapes. (I’m not claiming that they were that good to start off with!)

In general, the additions weren’t specifically written for the revue, but were either written around the same time, or were written before or after but fit the theme.

The expanded version is still on Bandcamp: I may add the new tracks to streaming platforms in due course, but that’s not a priority. I expect to be long departed by the time Spotify etc. make enough out of me to send a payment…
