After a lot of editing,started with over 200 minutes.
Removed a lot of official material,and used the studio sessions
or live versions in their place. The same three songs were used twice on different studio sessions,
Lady Eleanor,United States Of Mind and January Song.
So the lower quality one had to go.The music on that recording was overloaded
almost to the point of distortion,checked out an alternative and that had the same issues.
I suppose no one quality checks these things,being only used once or twice.
Had to adjust the volume on quite a few of these,
as Billy and Ray usually ended up with one of them being very low
in the volume,and sounding as if they were trapped in a box.
Edited a lot of the usual questions.
How did the band form?
How did you decide on the name?
Took out a lot of the repeated questions and answers.

Removed all official material from interviews.

From The Lindisfarne Story Website............


Ray Laidlaw
As a founder member of Lindisfarne, Ray was right in the middle of it...
even before the band had been thought of. As a young lad with a drum kit and dreams of rock and roll,
he set about hooking up with like-minded pals, setting him firmly on a course that would see him achieve success in a band with a #1 album,
and a varied life in the music business. Thankfully, he kept all the best bits in a diary: and there's a lot of them,
which came in very handy when THE LINDISFARNE STORY was first mooted...


Billy Mitchell
Like Ray, Billy was also there when it all began.
Close friends since the early days of Rock'n'Roll, Billy has never been far from the Lindisfarne action.
When the band split temporarily in 1973, he teamed up with founder members Ray, Rod Clements and Si Cowe to form
much-missed folk-rockers Jack the Lad. He eventually joined the band at the third time of asking in 1996,
fronting the band until it split in 2003. His experience as both an outsider and insider gives a warm,
unique perspective to THE LINDISFARNE STORY.
