Hi Paul,

Just a quick question.....are ALL the tracks on the CD from tapes/remastered or are some of them from 45s and then cleaned up? Also, are there any liner notes and if so who wrote them? Just wanna be sure as I don't currently own a single CD but am tempted by this. Was Marilyn Bond involved in this project?

Regards,

Dave

Hello Dave,

Some tracks were from master tapes and others were dubbed from 45s. The detailed liner notes (approx 5,000 words) were written by Dave Welding and myself. The 12-page booklet also has some rare photos.

Marilyn Bond was involved but it was Lou Beatty Jr. who signed the licensing deal with Grapevine - and the publishing deal with Three Saints Music / Millbrand Music.

Yep,

Sold me on all that Mate. Congratulations, you have just achieved what most of my friends and family thought was impossible! You have (their words, not mine), dragged me into the 21st Century (albeit kicking and screaming!) I shall be ordering my first ever CD shortly. I hope it will be first and last, but you never know........... thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.

Regards,

Hello,

Yes, "Try Them" is scheduled for a limited edition 7" release on Grapevine G2K 45-162 in the near future - probably in July or August. The flip side will have an instrumental version which isn't on the album.

Thanks Chalky,

It's very good value for money as it has thirty tracks (including five previously unissued) plus extensive liner notes and some rare photos.

And as it's also the first legal issue for most of these tracks, writers such as Fred Bridges and Melvin Davis will actually benefit financially.

I'll post a full track listing later.
