Line-up / Musicians

The second in a series of fan club releases from The Enid which included unreleased tracks, out takes, new live versions of classical tracks as well as unheard material from the band. The material on this release included compositions from the years 1975 - 1979.

The first set of recordings come from 1975 rough mixes at Sarm Studios. These tracks (The Sun, Judgement - In The Region Of The Summer Stars and In The Region Of The Summer Stars) featured the lineup of Robert John Godfrey, Stephen Stewart, Francis Lickerish, Dave Storey, Neil Cavanagh and Glen Tollet.

The lineup for the 1976 Marquee Club live recording of Land Of Hope And Glory/Dambusters involved Robert John Godfrey, Stephen Stewart, Francis Lickerish, Robbie Dobson, Nick Magnus and Jeremy Tranter.

Both versions of Jig Fugue were previously available on the Stand 2 album with the second band version including Robert John Godfrey, Stephen Stewart, Francis Lickerish, David Storey and Terry Pack. The unreleased performance of Francis - Story (Intro To Albion Fayre) was recorded at Hammersmith Odeon in 1979, when Albion Fayre plus Dambusters/Land of Hope and Glory were also recorded. The latter was also included in the Live At Hammersmith Volume II with Dambusters/Land Of Hope And Glory simply titled Encore. The lineup was the same as for Jig Fugue with Willie Gilmore and Tony Freer also included. A 1979 studio version, banned by Boosey And Hawkes, of Land Of Hope And Glory/Dambusters is included. This track was recorded with the same lineup as the live recordings at Lodge Studio in Hertford.

The final track is a 1979 studio recording of RJG and Willie Gilmore playing Cathedralaise. This track was the demo recording for a film and was also included on Stand 2.
