Yeah man it's rough as fuck. The music is great, highly recommend giving him a go.

Listening to the album now. Can definitely hear the Paul Simon production in the guitar tone. Beautiful songs.

Jesus, i'm only getting around to the Robbie Basho album posted a while back.

Spellbinding stuff, nice one!  :o

EDIT: just went to look for it on vinyl. The bastardin' thing was reissued only last month and sold out everywhere so far as I've looked.

Is it not available on bandcamp?

Ah yeah but with a 21 euro shipping cost. Thankfully, on the 4th page of Google search results I found it in Freebird Records in Dublin of all places. Purchased after listening to just 3 tracks, but that was all I needed to hear.

Yep he's one of those alright. That record will be worth a few quid quite soon.

You didn't spot it anywhere else did you? Listening to it again here, absolute class.

Ah man I must have nabbed the last copy from Freebird.

I only spotted it on Bandcamp which as I said required paying the same price for shipping as the record itself. I suppose the alternative is to trawl discogs for one of the reissues from either 2013 or 2020. But I'm sure you know you'll be at the mercy of shipping costs there too.

.... actually Bleep appear to be doing another round on January 15th for pre-order.

Sweet, just got in on that. The US version adds 20 dollars tax so the whole thing comes out at around 60 euros.

Ooh, that's pretty steep. Managed to get mine for about 35 including postage but that was pure luck that the one seller I could find was based in Ireland.

Reckon that was your best bet anyway if ya wanted a copy, so happy listening  8)

Good man, thanks for the heads up. Just grabbed a copy of Bleep, just over €25 including postage.
I have an address over the border so the post from mainland UK was only €3.22.....  8)
Niiiiice.....

Disc 2 of Gone To Earth is brilliant, never really bothered with the first disc:

Yet another song that features Danny Thompson from Pentangle on the double bass.  ;)
