This a recording of a live performance given at the Grassington Festival in 1999. In addition to Chris and Linda, it also features John Shepherd on Drums, Tony White on Piano, Jonathon Barratt on Base, Ian Stewart on Mouthharp, and Andrew Jackson who reads the soliquays. Tom Hoy also makes a welcome return guesting on two tracks – his first recording made with Magna Carta since the Live in Bergen album in 1978.
The CD was released in 2000 by HTD Records (catalogue number HTDCD113), and was re-released in 2001 by Talking Elephants Records as A Touch of Class in a 2 CD set with Live in Grassington, a recording of another concert recorded at the Grassington Festival in 1998.
