I bought the LP in 1978 and then the 1988 CD in 1999,  I listened to my new Collectors Edition CD for the first time yesterday.  Since I have been without a turntable since 1999, I could only compare this to the 1988 CD side to side.  Now I can say I have really heard what Gerry recorded 35 years ago.  This 2011 edition is well worth the price.  Now if Denis Blackham would do the same for the rest of Gerry's solo work.....
