I rest assured. Excellent. The universe is ticking along as it should.
I'm not so sure ... my goodness, is my memory breaking up? It might be. I thought I'd got them both from an amazing website, years ago, from where I downloaded a whole mass of stuff - concerts and so on. [Pause] In fact, I've just checked my MO backup CD which has a whole stack of those live bootlegs still in mp3 format, and there among 'em is Hergest original and orchestral. But maybe you did send them to me, and I subsequently backed them up on that disc. It's possible. Gosh. There's this little hole that has suddenly appeared in my life, and I can't remember whether you're in it or not Jules. Spooky. Well, look - if you did send it, thanks very much for being so kind. If you didn't, then for Pete's sake stop wasting my time with all this nonsense.

Yep. My introduction to Hergest was through 'Boxed', which was the only form in which I ever had those early albums on vinyl; and so I never heard the original for years and years until you sent (or did not send) it to me. So for me, the 'boxed' version has always seemed to be the real thing. It's to do with psychology and stuff, don't you think?
