This is a review of the CD from the British magazine "Uncut", May 2002. "The last we heard from del Amitri was just before the 1998 World Cup when they performed the Scottish team's official theme song (DCHTS). As another World Cup rolls around, Scotland have scraped into the finals once more, but Del Amitri are struggling to find the form that once filled stadiums." "CYDMG is a collection of decent songs, and BIM and LCSATD hint at former glories. What they lack, though, is a match winner. The craft and skill are present but the fire and passion are not. Its as if they've settled for mid-table safety, knowing they're no longer going to make it the Champions League. by NIGEL WILLIAMSON.... ONE and a HALF STARS, out of 5" Just a couple of comments: first, Scotland didn't qualify for the World Cup (as any fool would know) and second, the magazine gave Bryan Ferry's new CD 4.5 stars.

[LN]" Subject: OV: Old Socks New Shoes - MP3 CD Greetings everyone, Just thought I would update you again... I have just started to create a copy of my MP3 cd and realised that with the new CD-R's I have room for an additional track (Wahey I hear you cry), so, due to personal request from Mr Paul Naylor, I have added the cracking tune Another Letter Home. Hope this is good news to everyone and I hope you will be enjoying this CD very shortly, as I am. G'luck!

[LN]" Subject: OV: Old Socks New Shoes Ladies and Gentlemen, What can I say, I am being inundated with requests for my CD. It may go Platinum at this rate..! ;-) I cannot stop listening to it myself. I have been thinking though. There are a few more songs that I would like to be able to put on this album but I haven't got them on MP3 as yet but really want to get them. I have since come to the conclusion that it would be better to do 2 cd's. But I will release the second one later in the year (Ha ha, crumbs I sound so professional don't I?) I will re-create the CD as a shorten disc, probably 10-11 songs and then make up the other one once all the hoo-ha has died down. That way, you get 2 CD's of new stuff - Sounds better to me. I'll do you all a deal - I made up the title of this one myself, but if you all have ideas for a catchy name for DISC 2 then send them through OV and we can either hold a little comp or take a vote, so get thinking and send them on, however silly, meaningful, crap, doesn't matter.

The quality isn't as good as an original Audio cd but it is good enough. Unless you sit there scrutinising it you won't notice much difference. Hope this answers your question!
