A while back, I collaborated with a person named Pete the Greek on a series of non-album tracks by Ron Sexsmith. (Now that I think about it, I still have a couple of those I haven't posted yet. I'll try to get to that soon.) In the process of doing that, we came across this concert. But unfortunately, all we could find were YouTube videos of individual songs (and luckily, most of the banter before each song). We found all the Healy and Sexsmith songs, but we couldn't find two songs Gouldman was known to perform here: "Look Through Any Window" and "I'm Not in Love." Eventually, I posted the concert, with substitutes for the two missing songs.
Then, in December 2025, a kind musical helper sent me the full concert with great quality. So I redid this concert from scratch, using that new source. Not only was I able to recover the two missing songs, I also recovered some other missing bits, such as banter between songs.
By the way, Gouldman took part in another one of these "Songwriters' Circle" shows back in 1999. I plan to post that one eventually. In that one, he did do an acoustic version of "I'm Not in Love."
This album contains three bonus tracks. These are the legacy of the earlier version I'd posted. Since I'd posted a couple of extra Gouldman songs to make up for his missing ones, those no longer fit with the main album, since they come from another source. (Specifically, they come from a soundboard bootleg of a 10cc concert from Swansea in Wales, also from 2011, where Gouldman was essentially the opening act for his own 10cc band, playing a handful of songs he'd written before 10cc in an acoustic format.) I didn't want to disappear them completely though, so I've made them into bonus tracks. Their sound quality is just as good as the rest.
This unreleased concert is an hour and six minutes long, not including the bonus tracks.

The cover photo is from this exact concert. It's actually a composite of four screenshots I took from one of the videos from this concert. The video was so low-res, that I took a screenshot of the whole scene, then I found different points when there were close-ups of each head, and took screenshots of them. I resized the heads and pasted them in, so those parts would be more accurate. Finally, I ran the composite version through the Krea AI program to improve the sharpness some.
