Just to let you all know that some of Kevin Ayers early albums have all been reissued here in the UK, I'm not sure about elsewhere. Most of the revues I've read mention Mike's involvement with Kevin and Uncut magazine even say's Mike's bass playing on 'Shooting at the Moon' is amongst the most inventive on any British rock album. Those younger MO fans who think Mike's career began in 1992 should take a listen   ;)

The four re-released Kevin Ayers CDs are Joy of a Toy, Shooting at the Moon, Whatevershebringswesing, and Bananamour. All have extra bonus tracks but most of these are available on the Odd Ditties CD. Mike only features on Shooting at the Moon and Whatevershebringswesing. Take a look at my website in the sig for details of Mike's contributions to specific tracks.

As far as I can establish they also contain the dreaded copy protection(*) like Tubular Bells 2003. So avoid at all costs. The older BGO releases are still available (apart from Joy Of A Toy) without copy protection and they sound really crisp and clean so the re-mastering isn't really necessary anyway.

(*)I have emailed several online retailers asking for verification, but so far I have only received totally useless replies that have nothing to do with the question I asked. I will keep pestering them until I get a definitive answer and I will then post the answer here and on my website information pages.
