The songs were digitally transferred by Nick’s producer and engineer; John Wood and mastered by Simon Heyworth at Super Audio Mastering carefully preserving the varying qualities inevitably found in such old recordings. Many of the songs and poems were so exquisitely covered on the 2017 tour by The Unthanks and on their CD and Vinyl release: ‘The Songs Of Molly Drake’ The Tide’s Magnificence is a limited edition, there will only be one pressing of the set before it is made available as a single CD.
