◆本CDについて◆
ロバート・ワイアット率いるマッチング・モウルの1st『そっくりモグラ』リマスター＆エクスパンデッド・エディション。
2枚組用透明ジュエルケース（10mm厚）。ブックレット（全16頁）に「Original Press Release」、当時の記事（切り抜き）図版2点、トラックリスト＆クレジット、Sid Smithによる解説（January 2012）、モノクロ図版11点、カラー図版（シングル「O Caroline」レーベル）1点。
ディスク1、#1～8は1stアルバム・リマスター。
#9、10は#1、3のシングル・エディット。#1はイントロが大部分カットされて、最後はフェイド・アウト。
#11は20分強の「Part of the Dance」初期形ジャム・セッション。ほとんど電化マイルスです。
ディスク2、#1「Signed Curtain（テイク2）」はまだ歌詞がない段階で、ひたすら「アーアー、アハアハ」いっています。
#2「Memories Membrane」はソフト・マシーン初期の名曲「メモリーズ」のインスト・セッション。
#3「Part of the Dance（テイク1）」はマスター・テイクにだいぶ近付いてきました。
#4「Horse」はキャラヴァン「Waterloo Lily」中間部にも出てくるリフに基づいた即興セッション。
#5、6は『On the Radio』（Hux Records、2006年）に既出のBBCセッション。
