CD - UK Island Records IMCD 291/586929-2 (In Slipcase) (6 May 2002) - CD - Island Records ILPS 9115 / CID 9115 (Later IMCD 60)
Va bene: di solito le ristampe di dischi su cd sono alquanto spartane. Ma qui la Island si supera: due delle quattro smilze facciate di copertina sono occupate dalla ripetizione dei titoli delle tracce. Rimangono la copertina, che rievoca lo stile delle ballate anglo-scozzesi che caratterizza questo album, ed una foto B/N del gruppo, scattata Eric Hayes. Il lavoro è molto bello, si potrebbe citare la nota "Matty Groves" ma anche la dolcissima "Farewell Farewell" di Thompson, cantata splendidamente da Sandy Denny. Alla maturità del gruppo contribuisce molto anche l'arrivo di Dave Mattacks, nuovo batterista.
