Well, my personal fave would have to be Free Festivals for the versions of
High Rise & Damnation Alley & also the Watchfield stuff. But it's just great
to finally have them on CD. Question, though. I remember picking up a flyer
at the Croydon gig which claimed that the Weird CDs would have extra tracks.
Now, I've only got 1 to 4 so far, but no sign of those extras (apart from an
extended Angels of Life on 1 with a never-heard-before Calvert rant - great
stuff). How about 5, 6, & 7? Anything new there? And what about Weird 8? Any
sign of that coming out to complete the set?
