Thanks, RB. Nice compilation mostly taken from the Journals set. For those who care about such things, the "more cymbals Hal" after We'll Meet Again does not belong to that track. It's a bad edit that actually belongs after I Knew I'd Want You. It's Michael playing on We'll Meet Again, and everything else except the two sides of the 45.

Nice bit of trivia, David
