Explained by Ian Anderson: " To have done the TV show as a live perfance would have been horrenously difficult in terms of concentrating on performing to cameras and everything else, so playing live was out of question. That meant miming - but because of Musicians' Union rules we couldn't just mime to the original album tracks, we had to re-record them." * An extensive 24 page booklet including an essay by Martin Webb on the preparation and recording of the album in Brussels and Monte Carlo, the aborted stage musical, the London Weekend TV special and the 1976 tours. The booklet also contains a track by track annotation by Ian Anderson, lyrics, a feature on Ian Anderson and his motorbikes, Dave Gibbons on drawing the LP's cartoon inner spread and 'From [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/1184756-Carmen-19]Carmen[/url] to Tullman' - The Musical Life of John Glascock, unseen photos and lots more.
