COMMENTS The UK and European versions of Sunset and Other Beginnings contain the additional track Ol' Man River. A boisterous version that apparently was the result of a bout of spontaneous fun during a recording session. You Can't Hurry Love/Mama Said b/w The Sun And The Moon (SNBH 3789) was the first single to be released in the UK. This was followed by Almost Like Being In Love (SNBH 3789), which was backed with a live version of Beautiful People recorded at the Royal Albert Hall on 6th October 1975. The album has not officially been released on CD. Two tracks, Almost Like Being In Love and Dream Seller, were included as bonus tracks on the Buddah Collectors Classic CD version of “Candles In The Rain” and the whole album (except ‘Ol Man River) was included on the 3CD Box set “Triple Treasures”
