This is a 2009 re-mix of the 1973 LP. The first side is note perfect. The second side seems to have phrases chopped out and The (first) Sailors Hornpipe it a cut & shut job. The Bonus Track is some orchestral arrangement of the middle of side 2, and then we come to the Vivian Stanshall intro in all it's glory, with a cut & shut of the Hornpipe again. This CD seems to have lost the magic of the original 1973 release due to it's cut & shut nature. Even though it's all there, it has been chopped up and re-assembled with some of the wrong pieces put in the wrong places, just to complete the disc. The original LP runs in a particular sequence for a reason, The idea is, it is supposed to take you through a journey of sound which tells a story. On this version, you seem to get lost along the journey, take a few shortcuts, lose your way a few times and then eventually arrive at the destination twice. IMO, this is an abomination of the original masterpiece. But it for laugh.Read full review
