Notes: Universal Records (Japan) reissued the first Jerusalem album in 2005, leading to Williams and Cooke to reform the band and release Escalator in 2009. They were joined by Downes, Meros, D'Virgilio and Hannifan. However, Cooke suffered a severe stroke in early 2010, leaving him unable to play. Cutler also replaced Meros. This set of recordings was compiled, but a new band name was deemed appropriate given the change in style. And thus we have the debut album from Deckchair Poets, released 7 Oct 2013.

(12) was included on a Prog cover disc in 2016. (HP, 25 Nov 19; updated, 30 Aug 21)
