Unfortunately this is par for the course with HW
nowadays - they can't even get their own line-up
right.  Harvey Bainbridge was missed off the Yule
Ritual CD for example, even though Dave introduces him
quite early on.  Still, at least Huw retained his
writing credits - Calvert lost his from 2 tracks on
Yule Ritual...er, not that I imagine he's that
bothered now of course.

It's not just your copy (sorry!), sounds like that on
my copy too.  A small price to pay for such a good
coupla CDs I reckon.
