Hello Stuart.

Im not quite sure what you are asking here. I see a recording for Maxwell’s Rant in the album for book 18. If Colin Dewar used the same set of tunes for both that CD and the Tweedside CD it may be that one recording entry was just linked to both albums.

The RSCDS Shop seems to have no knowledge that the society ever produced the Tweedside CD which the database thinks has an RSCDS-CD-6 catalogue number.

If you have copies of both that and the Book 18 CD maybe you could compare the used tunes? If they are different we should indeed have separate recording entries. Otherwise I would leave things as they are.

AFAIR, the “Tweedside” CD is one of the “samplers” the Society used to produce from existing recordings (especially before they got around to reissuing/rerecording the music for all of the numbered books on CD). As such it is no surprise that this CD has disappeared from the shop – they may simply be out of copies and don’t feel the urge to produce more. It’s safe to assume that the Maxwell’s Rants on the “Tweedside” CD and the Book 18 CD are in fact the same recording.
