Expanded "A hard road"?

(I've posted this in the Peter Green ledgeboard as well)

Just saw in the new ICE magazine (September 2003, issue number 198) that on September 23rd in the US there's a listing for a release of a John Mayall CD titled "A hard road - Blues Breakers with Peter Green" AND it says "two CD's" to be released on Polydor/UME.

I'm not going to get too excited about this as I know the more famous "Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton" album was reissued recently as a 2 CD set but the second disc only included I think the mono mix of the album along with 2 bonus tracks of "Lonely years" and "Bernard Jenkins" which are hardly rare tracks for those who collect Mayall's works (considering they've already shown up on numerous Mayall related comps etc.) but if anyone knows any further details on this "...Hard road..." re-release then please do post them here as I can't find a tracklisting anywhere for this new version of this release. Thanks in advance.

I'm only guessing, but there are quite a few tracks on John Mayall's "Through The Years" 2 LP set that feature Peter Green. With tracks such as "Curly", "Greeny", etc. And, from the Raw Blues London records compilation, there's "Evil Woman Blues" (which is ALL over the file sharing sites)

Yeah, I mean naturally other than unreleased stuff we don't know about I would sure hope that they'll use the second disc as a clean up attempt with the related "Thru the years" & "Looking back" tracks as you say Chili and particularly "Rubber duck" and the 4 Mayall & Paul Butterfield EP tracks as I'd sure like to get RD & those 4 all on one CD (as I've only heard of three JM&PB EP tracks being on CD and I've never come across a CD release of "Rubber duck" yet) but we'll see and we can hope I guess.
