Al Stewart - Greatest Misses (1974-1996) (A MIKE SOLOF GUEST POST)

Here's another Mike Solof guest post of Al Stewart's music. This one is a companion to the other one I posted a few days ago. That one, "Greatest Alternate Misses," was made up of alternate versions of songs from Stewart's albums. Whereas this one is made up of songs that didn't make any of Stewart's studio albums. 

Like the other album, it mostly is sourced from the massive 50-plus CD box set, "The Admiralty Lights." However, two of the songs ("The Bear Farmers of Birnam" and "Merry Monks") are from a fan club album. I found this a surprisingly strong collection. I was left wondering why so many of these were considered mere outtakes.

If you want to know more, I suggest you read the PDF that is included in the download zip, as is the case with Solof's other posted albums.

This album is an hour long.

The cover art is based on the cover art for "The Admiralty Lights" box set. But I believe this is a zoomed in section of an alternate version.
