Instead of being a "best of" album, the compilers (Dave Cousins and Dick Greener) have attempted to present alternative versions of some well known songs plus some previously unreleased material from the Strawbs' own archives and other sources. CD1: "Eyes Wide Open" (1966–1971): The Strawberry Hill Boys to Sandy Denny and the Strawbs. Then the Strawbs go electric as Rick Wakeman joins the band. CD2: "Changing Places" (1972–1974): High flying singles and albums in the UK and North America. CD3: "Inside Out" (1975–1988): Strawbs go their separate ways for a while, but Wakeman brings them back together. Success at the Cambridge Folk Festival spawns a network TV documentary and concert. Wakeman and Cousins appear together in concert. CD4 "Further Down The Road" (1990–2006): 25th Anniversary tour - Don Airey on keyboards. The Chiswick House concert. Wakeman and Cousins record again. Strawbs Acoustic reinvent the band. Strawbs headline major festivals. CD5 "Tastebuds" bonus disc Don Airey on 3 tracks: "Heartbreak Hill" and "Extravaganza on a Theme of Strawbs" recorded on the 1993 silver jubilee tour. "File of Facts" is a 1993 recording by Dave Cousins and Don Airey. |
