This is a reissue of the recordings of the 2006 show at the Robin 2 in Bilston in 2006, which featured the classic electric Hero And Heroine/Ghosts line-up , with special guest John Ford who joined them for an acoustic show within a show and for the anthemic encore "Part Of The Union". Originally released by Secret Record/Films in 2006 as a 2CD audio release and a single DVD video release (both entitled Lay Down With The Strawbs), this reissue presents both in a single package.
It's released alongside a vinyl only reissue of highlights from the show. See: Best Of The Strawbs Live In Concert page and see the original CD release page and the original DVD release page.
The running order here is not as played live - the four acoustic tracks were played between the two "halves" of Electric Strawbs, after "The Life Auction", before "Out In The Cold".
