The Finest 'Arvest Of The Wurzels featuring Adge Cutler
The Wurzels - Adge Cutler & The Wurzels

EMI Gold 534 4102 (CD)
EMI Gold ??? (cassette)

Release Date: August 2001

This a reissue of the 2000 Finest 'Arvest album, updated and re-released by EMI Gold to include the Combine Harvester 2001 Remix single which had charted earlier in 2001.

At first glance it looks almost identical to the original release, but the reissue has 25 tracks instead of the original 24. The extra track is, of course, the remix single, but the last track on the original 2000 release (Rock Around The A38) has been replaced on this reissue by Drink, Drink Yer Zider Up for reasons of space.

Record collectors beware - when offered a copy of the CD, check carefully which version it is! The front cover is identical to the original, but the track listing on the back of the CD is obviously different. Also when you open up the CD case, the back page of the booklet has a photograph of the 2001 band line-up - John Morgan, Tommy Banner, Dave Winter and Pete Budd - instead of the picture of the combine harvester. The original sleeve notes by Paul Gunningham were unchanged.

Now you can listen to some Real Audio sound clips from the CD - here on the Wurzelmania! website, by kind official permission of EMI Records, London, England.

You'll need a suitable player capable of playing Real Audio - if you haven't got one you can download one from The Real Audio website for free!

Note: These Real Audio extracts have been encoded at a much lower sound quality than the CD - this is so that they won't take ages to download. They're just to give those who haven't heard The Wurzels or Adge Cutler an idea what some of the songs sound like. The CD is of course recorded in glorious Wurzelphonic 44.1KHz 16-bit stereo!

Wurzelmania! thanks EMI Records for making the above excerpts available.
