Hi Folks!
Been a lurker for the past few months and noting down all the CR b-sides and non-album tracks, so that I could start my own hunt. Man, this is more of an epic trip than a simple rummage around!
Anyway, I finally completed my first part, and would like to share with you to see if you think I have missed anything during this period. All the single remixes/edits etc.. will be added in a seperate compilation for just that, anyway, here goes:

I managed to get clean digital transfers of the vinyl tracks, and was so surprised at the general quality of Mr. Rea's B-Side output! Serious contenders for album tracks there!
My journey will be a long one, but I'm enjoying it
Hope to chat with some of you here,
All the best,
Lewis x.
P.S. Is there really two different songs called 'All Summer Long'???
