Sandy Denny: Borrowed Thyme

Sandy Denny: Borrowed Thyme (SDCD03)

Borrowed Thyme (Bootleg)
Sandy Denny
SDCD03 (CD, 19??)

This bootleg CD presents rare home demos of Sandy Denny and some BBC radio broadcasts. The sleeve notes state “Apologies for the quality of tracks 18-24, these are the best versions of these exceedingly rare radio broadcasts that we have found available.”

The back side bears the notice “None of the tracks on this release appear on the earlier Sandy Denny CD Dark the Night.” and the CD is similar in layout to this one. So probably both are from the same source.
