BEHIND CLOSED DOORS – Hepcat Records – 2018
Na het succes van "The Alternate Moody Blue" en "The Alternate Today" bracht Hepcat Records in 2018 hun "Behind Closed Doors" uit in hun nieuwe serie speciale producten. "Behind Closed Doors" is altijd al een favoriet onder fans geweest. HEPCAT startte dit project nadat ze enkele van de originele acetaten en een (gedeeltelijk bruikbare) tape hadden gevonden die gebruikt waren om de originele LP masters te maken. Alle nummers zijn digitaal geremasterd en waar nodig qua snelheid aangepast. Nu werd deze legendarische LP boxset voor het eerst opnieuw uitgebracht in een prachtige 10-inch boxset. De boxset bevat 2 cd's, een 10-inch vinylplaat en een bonus 45-toerenplaat met Gentle on my mind (vocal repaired undubbed master) en Tomorrow never comes (take 11).
