Title: Beware! Same Group, Same Title, Two Different Albums.
Product review: I own both the 1976 Passport Records and the 1985 Windham Hill LPs (I do not own the Windham Hill CD). They are NOT the same! The 1976 version is much more frantic, electric, and progressive. Assuming you have access to both, check out 6 minutes into The Book of Hours: the lyricon solo is missing on the Windham Hill version. That solo was rough, grating, unique, and really defined early Shadowfax. Even the title cut has the tempo mellowed for the Windham Hill version. There are other differences. Which is better? Personally, I prefer the original. Good luck finding it.For album details, Mr. McKenna's review summed it up well. He had the 1976 version.I've only heard bits and pieces of other Shadowfax albums, and found them painfully boring in comparison.PS Somebody mentioned bonus tracks? How about both versions released together?
