UK release
Deadlines Witchwood Media CD release, 2010, with bonus tracks: WMCD 2047 (Witchwood Media, 2012) . Jewel case release by Witchwood Media. Eight page booklet, including names of fans who paid in advance. There's a reproduction of an interesting letter from Clive Davies, head of Arista, showing that he was influential in determining the running order of the album and new sleeve notes by Dave, about the trials and tribulations involved in making the album (the original release included a heartfelt statement from DC: "[This album] took several months out of our lives between July and October 1977 and years off them.")
The DD reuses the hardbitten editor image, and the tray inner has a clock set to 11.57, nearly at the deadline ...

BOXED SET
All Our Own Work - multiple CD box, facsimile card sleeves with Obi: no number for set (Airmail, Japan, 2013). Airmail licensed a number of CD from Witchwood Media, and chose to package them into a Sandy Denny and the Strawbs: All Our Own Work boxed set. There's one (at the time of writing) on offer at: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STRAWBS-JAPAN-8TITLES-MINI-LP-CD-PROMO-BOX-BA81-/271685491701, which suggests that all eight Airmail CD releases are included in the box. However, whilst all eight will fit in the box, the version I bought had only five, the AIRAC 170X numbered releases:
The five in my copy:
- AIRAC 1702 - Sandy Denny & The Strawbs (packaged to look like the original album, the CD is the 2010 Complete Sessions released by Witchwood Media) - see above.
- AIRAC 1703 - Dave Cousins: Two Weeks Last Summer (packaged to look like the original album, the CD has the two bonus tracks included on Japanese releases).
- AIRAC 1704 - Strawbs: Deep Cuts (packaged to look like the original album, the CD has the bonus Lambert-written track included on later CD releases "You Won't See The Light").
- AIRAC 1705 - Strawbs: Burning For You (packaged to look like the original album, the CD has the bonus track "Joey And Me" included on later CD releases).
- AIRAC 1706 - Strawbs: Deadlines (packaged to look like the original album, the CD is in fact the extended edition, with multiple bonus tracks, released by Witchwood Media).
The extra three:
- AIRAC 5006 - Strawberry Sampler (very different packaging, but same musical content as Witchwood Media release)>
- AIRAC 5007 - Of A Time (only slightly different packaging, cover has a brown border, but same musical content as Witchwood Media release)>
- AIRAC 5008 - Recollections (very different packaging, but same musical content as Witchwood Media release)>
I'll try and find out what the true position was.
These original photos of the box etc. (including only the 5 CDs I received) are taken by me! If you use them on Ebay, please credit Strawbsweb. The box was a very limited edition it seems, and very few seem to come up for sale.
