As great as Robin's 1976 "Live" album is, it has always bugged me big time that it comes w/out BRIDGE OF SIGHS and, even worse, no upgraded CD re-issue has remedied that so far. I always thought it would be easy to put the entire show on one CD, especially as there are even outtakes in circulation (albeit in crappy quality). However, I meanwhile learned from a knowledgeable fan who posted on amazon.com a few years back that the band (or Jimmy, for that matter?) were obviously not happy with the original vocals. Hence, he re-did them in the studio for the release, though only on the tracks that had already been selected for the album! So, whatever material is in Chysalis‘ (or Swedish Radio’s) vaults has the subpar live vocals and is being regarded as non-releasable (by Chrysalis and/or Robin). Also, the album could stand a bit of remastering, IMHO, it sounds a wee bit dull (or am I wrong?).
