Oh please Steve, release the lot,no matter what the quality is of the recordings, we'd all love to have them released from the dungeons of EMI's vaults purely for our selfish listening pleasure. I am not alone on this thought I assure you. God bless. X

It seems that all the tracks on The Human Menagerie are in the tapes, played in "embryonic form", according to Steve, he calls them "early explorations of tracks I had been busking. It's the band playing the songs, but in primitive form". There is no Muriel The Actor or Ruthy, but the rest are there. Plus Big Bifg Deal with Steve on a whistling solo!! And Rock n Roll Parade with an extra verse of lyrics.

im so happy and glad for this, thank you

This is Magic through an open door ! cant wait... YES

Oooooh, there's an album in its own right surely?

You could even call it 'Big, big deal'?

Keep the box set as it is ..... and get EMI to re-release Human Menagerie and Psychomodo as Deluxe Editions, with second discs made up of this latest archival find.
