This CD-R is a remastered reissue of Folly Bridge’s two original cassettes, All in the Same Tune (WildGoose WGS252MC, 1991) and Unabridged (1992). Since it wasn’t available anymore for a long time, Claire Lloyd uploaded all songs to a Youtube playlist in summer 2014. Thank you very much, Claire! In 2015, WildGoose re-released this as a digital download album.

Produced and recorded by Doug Bailey at WildGoose Studios, May Cottage, Wherwell, Hampshire.
