2CD / Jewelcase / 2009 Festival Music. This double CD features the original cassette release / enhanced CD release coupled with the band's archive release 'Smiling At Grief Live', plus three previously unreleased tracks, including the original demo of Eleanor Rigby and a very different early version of This City. As keyboard player Rick Battersby started his ‘sabbactical’ year during the recording sessions he only features on some of the tracks. Although Clive took over keyboard duties the 4-piece line-up was relatively short-lived, though it did go on to write and record the 'Fact And Fiction' album. The original purpose of 'Smiling At Grief' had been to gather together some demos to try and stimulate some record company interest and also to satisfy the growing number of fans who had been eagerly awaiting new material, particularly now that Geoff had joined the band. Disc 2 features 12 live recordings from 1981.
