Comments:
(from the sleeve)
The songs on this album were all recorded in 1986/1987 with Phil Ramone producing. Most of them remain unreleased officially up to the date of this release, whilst others (notably "Beautiful Night") were re-recorded. Only a handful crept onto various CD-single B-sides more than 10 years later. Tracks 3, 6, 7, 8 and 16 are demos.

My Comments :
This is totally different to the already released bootleg "Return To Pepperland", both of which feature the terrific whimsical title track.
And ...
Is almost identical to the bootleg release "Return To Lindiana" which featured the same first 13 tracks, but for some reason ended with two tracks from a different period.
