The CD was part of a 2 CD limited edition of
Promenade in UK. It was also sold on its own by Setanta to the audience of some gigs in 1996 to flow out the stocks or given away for magazine subscriptions. Some of these copies were sent along a
Promenade postcard within an enveloppe featuring a ‘The Divine Comedy’ stamp like on
Indulgence No. 2. It is unknow if these were already made by the time of the album, or if that came at the same time as the
Indulgence No. 2 EP.
The inscriptions at the bottom of the disc (we can’t read them on the scan, sorry) just tell us that the tracks were recorded with Chris Worsey on cello and Natalie Box on violin at Elephant Studios in 1993 during an early
Promenade session. So they are half
Liberation, half
Promenade in style in the way they were played live in 1993-1994. ‘
Life’s What You Make It’ on
Volume 9 /
Rarities was probably recorded during the same session.
