Contains Previously Unreleased Audio Material
London Town was released in 1978. The recordings took place in London and the Virgin Islands.
Sessions for the album started in February 1977 and lasted until January 1978.
It was one of the longest stretched periods Paul worked on an album during the seventies.
This two c.d. set includes outtakes, rough mixes and some tracks (just 6) from the Geoff Emerick tapes.
All in pristine quality, unreleased or never released in this quality before !

The 16 page stiff card booklet for the TMOQ Gazette has a more detailed write-up from which the above and the track details were extracted.
An in-depth summary of the recording sessions and a section on each song recorded.
Plus the usual HMC layout and excellent photographs.
