about

In honour of the Where You're Meant To Be film streaming on the BBC iPlayer until February 2024, the accompanying live album has been restored and remastered, and now features the previously missing (and slightly controversial) track, I Love an English Lassie. The song was removed from the original release for two reasons: firstly, I didn't want to get in trouble with the outlander in-laws, but it's been years now, and I'm sure they know I was joking; secondly – and more importantly – it was a bit of a copyright headache. Unlike the other songs, it's not a rewrite of a traditional ballad, it's my version of a Harry Lauder classic, which at the time of the album's original release was still entangled in publishing chaos. Nine years later, though, and it's now in the public domain, so I'm free to release it as intended, and it's back in the set ... where it's meant to be!

There are currently no plans to remaster the vinyl or CD versions, and I'm aware that many of you will have already purchased an LP, CD or digital copy of the original release years ago. So with that in mind, I'm selling the album for the average price of a UK pint, which – according to the most recent ONS figures up to June 2023 – is £4.57.

Cheers!

What a delight being able to hear these tracks now. Been a fan forever but am thrilled that my current favourite songs, Reggae Song For Paula, Bon Voyage and Fuck-a-Doodle-Don't I didn't know even existed until this week! donsmad1903
