Well, I never heard back from David McLees but I spotted this (attached) in the new issue of UK magazine "Record collector" (June 2003 issue no. 286):
So in their long listing way, it does look like it's Rhino doing the BN CD. RC did screw up with the "1975" bit though and unfortunately (worryingly?) nothing about it being "expanded" in this piece but hopefully "Q" was right about that and RC just forgot to say that.
So I hope that's of help in the meantime and hopefully McLees will get back to me about these CD's and I'll see if I can squeeze any more info out of him about it if he does get back to me and if I can get anything else out of him about any of this, I'll post it here.
