The CD is a reissue of Bold Sportsmen All and Gamblers and Sporting Blades.
Three additional tracks (8, 9 and 10) were added. These additional tracks are about highwaymen and not about sport, but as the booklet says "To these original recordings we have added tracks 8,9 & 10 from A.L.Lloyd, Ewan MacColl and Roy Harris and these broaden the original canvas a little, to include the once popular sport of highway robbery".
Track 8 is from A.L. Lloyd "First Person";
Track 9 is from Chorus From the Gallows;
Track 10 is from Roy Harris "Champions of Folly";
