Incredible String Band Remastered
Joe Boyd has been working with the original engineer John Wood to remaster
the original Elektra recording and these have now been released in Fledg'ling
Records. No additional tracks are included so that the integrity of the original
albums is preserved. However, there are essays by Robin, Mike and Clive as well
as Joe Boyd to complete the package.
