Don't know the other two but Ring Dance is brilliant.  As is the Trees set, of course.

A Prog Prom !

Radio 3 Saturday evening- a whole concert of prog and related music .

Robin Williamson - Ring Dance
Tim Laycock & Friends - Harvest Hwome
Aly Bain & Phil Cunningham - The Best Of...
V/A - The Best of Jazz-Funk

4 albums for £1

And I've just downloaded the Trees reissue from a few years ago (the 3 CD, 37 track set) from *m*z*n for £7.99

like the forgetful auld bugger that i am i ordered the new 3 cd waterboys set Atlantic rain from amazon and its winging its way to me as we speak.
Whats the problem? i hear you ask.  
Well im glad you did, you see the problem is i already ordered it from the waterboys website months ago, and had completely forgotten until they kindly sent me an e-mither informing me that it too was speeding toward the rainy city.
so if anyone wants a copy of said cd set for the bargain bin price of £25 drop me an message and a deal can be done.
Blimey! im turning into Donald ffffin Trump

Lots of camping at this show.

I remember a flyer floating around the campsites about this band name Fairport Convention recently reforming and that they were "kinda like the UK's Grateful Dead."  I thought "hummmmm?"

I also ran into to two aquaintences I had recently met and played guitar with them all night that evening.  7 months later, we would form a band.  We're on our 40th year now and just released our first record.

Two very big parts in my life started that day.

Oh.......and the show.....superb!

As someone who still hasn't got a copy of this, I am fully green with envy.

Poor argument, and you can't have seen the Leo Sayer packaging. Profiteering. I paid 20 quid for the Nick Drake.

A couple of football-related songs come to mind...

Chris Wood - Only A Friendly
Megson - The Longshot

a) quality (packaging etc. not musical quality...) and b) probably most importantly, economies of scale. And backing perhaps, this was put together by a very small team....?  Ultimately, it's like saying one doesn't understand why a jag costs more than a mini, isn't it?  I mean the Nick Drake box was near enough £100 for 4 discs.  If they get the pricing wrong, they won't sell.  I bet this sells out and proves to be a decent investment (another answer to your question perhaps)...

Why is this £240 for 20 cds and, say, the Leo Sayer one is £65 for 18 cds. Opinions on the perceived quality of the music are not relevant as they are both established artistes.
