Dear David,
The catalogue number of the CD would have helped, but I assume it is Columbia CK 66999.
I bought it when it was released in 1996.
Great stuff for a mouldy fig like me.
But I don't think Marek would like the minstrel/yodelling vocals.

The CD includes an excellent 20 page booklet with background notes and full details.
Here is the recording information as requested.
The tracks on the CD are in chronological order.
Cheers,
Bill.
