 Clinton Heylin: No More Sad Refrains: The Life and Times of Sandy Denny

This Sandy Denny compilation by A&M and Island Records accompanied Clinton Heylin's biography No More Sad Refrains: The Life and Times of Sandy Denny. It has some rare and interesting tracks: one from the Liege and Lief recording sessions, two from the Bunch album Rock On (which was finally reissued on CD in 2003), two from the Pass of Arms soundtrack, and two demos of well known songs. All tracks are remixed and of great quality.

The UK and US issues are identical apart from catalogue number and company name and logo.
