COMMENTS

 

Like Ballroom Streets, Silver Anniversary is another showcase of new-recordings featuring both old and new material, but this time done in an acoustic setting. Except for the inclusion of some tracks on Freedom Knows My Name as a foretaste of Silver Anniversary, all tracks make their first appearance on CD here.

 

This 2CD set exists in two formats. The one listed here is the more commonly available. However, there is a Dutch version (Dino CNCD 1372) that has a slightly different track listing. This excludes Count They Days Your Gone, If I Needed You and Taking a Bath, but includes Freedom Knows My Name.

 

Silver Anniversary was re-released February 2000
