Originally released on CD in Germany in 1992, CD versions have sold for as much £40 second hand some 20 years later.

Now time to make it available to the world again. The first eight tracks on this are often considered more raw than the recordings on the 1971 Way We Live album as these were done in the preceding 12 months to that album's release of the same tracks - ie these are the original masters!!! A great selection of rare bonus tracks and an 8 page cd booklet with some rare images complete the package.

Tracks 1 to 8 and 13 are recorded late 60's/early 70's at John Brierley's home studio on a mixing desk with no EQ on 2 track tape recorders (later to become Dandelion Studios, Rochdale and eventually Cargo Studios).

Tracks 9 and 10 recorded 1977 by Cargo Studios Mobile. Tracks 11 and 12 Recorded 1974/75 at Tractor Sound Studios, Heywood.

Track 14 Recorded 1980 by Cargo Studios Mobile. TRACTOR `ORIGINAL MASTERS' CD ALBUM. This album contains different recordings, in fact, earlier recordings of the eight songs on The Way We Live `A Candle for Judith' plus another six previously unreleased tracks including live versions of Lost on the Ocean and Electric Witch.

The eight Candle for Judith songs on this CD were recorded in 1970 in the attic studio in Edenfield Road, Rochdale, produced and engineered by John Brierley and are slightly more raw than the Candle for Judith Dandelion masters, which were recorded at Hollick and Taylor, Birmingham and mastered at Spot Sound in London.

Because the band always felt more at ease in their own studio environment, Dandelion encouraged them to record in their own studio again for the Tractor 'Tractor' album.

The 14-track CD album of Original Masters is available from Ozit Records as an album signed by Jim and Steve.
