Produced by Ernst Mikael Jørgensen & Roger Semon / Audio Restoration & Mastering by Sebastian Jeansson / Mixed by Sebastian Jeansson & Vic Anesini.
This CD set had so much potential, and should have been the definitive release of these sessions, but sadly that wasn't the case. Although everything has been restored, remixed and remastered from scratch, some outakes are missing dialogue and take slates which were present on previous releases, and where takes were presented with "dry" vocals on previous releases, they now contain added reverb, as does the complete set. The takes of songs are also not presented the way they were recorded, in order of takes, they are all split up!
After this set was released FTD listened to fans' complaints and started to release these "Sessions" sets the way they should be, with everything presented as it was recorded, in order of recording, and with no added reverb!
