Tracks

Compared to All Our Own Work, this CD omits two tracks, Wild Strawberries and Sweetling, but adds the three track 6, 9, and 10. Also, apart from being remastered, string backing has been added to four tracks. According to the Strawbs website for this album, the strings were recorded at the original recording time but not included in the mix used for the LP.
