Erma Franklin's Brunswick back catalogue needs reviving as well. Massive 'Light My Fire' cover. True London soul classic.

Respect from across the pond,

Hi Kev, I have & enjoy that live Young-Holt lp but I was wandering if the cd has either new material or if there was anything done to the tapes to make them sound better... also curious as to when/ where it was recorded, I assume before 'Soulful Strut' which isn't on there...
