After reading posts on the thread about the Ashley Hutchings book, Rise Up Like the Sun was mentioned so I listened to some of it on Last FM and really loved it. I'll get the CD, I thought, but looking around it seems to be available as an MP3 but not as an actual CD.
Does anyone know why? Is it usual these days for more albums to be available on MP3 rather than CD? I'd really like all the info on who is singing on which track, but I wouldn't get this with a download would I?

It may be out of print. Keep haunting Amazon and eBay and you'll find a secondhand copy. Jules |

Jules People asking silly money (£40) for them on Amazon at the moment....only vinyl and cassette on eBay... criminal that such a great album is out of print. I'd love to see a really decent remastered reissue of that with extras, live stuff attached. But still, how many would it sell? Probably not economic is it? |

I have a list of several such CDs that seem to be nigh impossible to get for under £20+ (and I won't pay over £15 for a single CD). Some do turn up on Amazon eventually. Someone here might even have a spare/unwanted copy that they'll sell you or at least copy for you. Otherwise, patience may have to be the name of the game.  I had to wait a long time to get copies of The Albion Band BBC Sessions, Phil Ochs' Tape From California (I still haven't tracked down a legit copy of his Pleasures Of The Harbor), and various others. So many great albums out of print. Jules |

Blimey. Just arrived at this thread - so much research to do, so little money....
The only album I have, inasmuch as I borrowed it from the library once, is "Road Movies". How does this compare to the earlier output? Does it fall in the "slick" category?
And whoever said Ruth Angell has a great voice - yes. Definitely!

That's why I posted my comments about Rise Up on this thread - I found it yesterday and thought it was so interesting that it deserved another airing. I read all the recommendations for albums and had the same reaction as you - I've got to check all these out and then start saving... |

An extended (and I guess remastered  ) version of RULTS is on Spotify, as is Lark Rise. In fact, there is quite a bit of Albion/Hutchings stuff up there. |

Such a long thread and no mention of Steve Ashley who's "Stroll On" is a absolute gem and features Lord Bateman with the original Albion Band line up. The album also features Fire and Wine, which in my opinion it a folk rock classic, saying that Steve Ashley's - Speedy Return is one of the best albums ever made, it constantly remains in my top ten. Featuring Fairport and Albion members, Danny Thompson, B. J. Cole, Tristram Fry, and orchestration by Robert Kirby, Stroll On has a lot to offer. A fantastic song writer often overlooked.

Oh oh, I thought I had most of the Albions back catalogue (although some is transcribed vinyl, complete with scratches), but the Steve Ashley connection... I remember making a mental note to go there a couple of years ago, back to the top of the list then!

Ah well. My own wife is sure Sandy Denny can't sing. I can't begin to understand that one. We've actually had a stupid row about that once or twice  ("you don't f***ing understand any music, go watch Pop Idol again and sod off". "That woman sings false and don't tell me what I should or shouldn't like", etc etc etc. So then it's Sandy on the headphones and Pop Idol on the telly and for the rest a deadly silence all evening. Only ever every once in a while though, ha ha. Surely that's grounds for divorce?  |

I can tell you that the National Sound Archive holds recordings of Lark Rise, Candleford, Despatches, Sir Gawain & the Green Night and Don Quixote - as performed at the National Theatre. I don't know what the current listening arrangements are though.

Brendan, you are so right re Steve Ashley. He is a fantastic singer and writer (and a really nice bloke too).
I was VERY fortunate to be present when Steve sang "Lord Bateman" solo er....xxxx years ago. I still don't know if he did it for a bet but it was superb. Actually better than the 1908 Joseph Taylor recording, which is cosmic. I'm serious.

Wouldn't xxxx imply a four figure number? Are you and Steve Ashley both members of the undead?!?!  Jules |

Looking through the tracklisting, I'm beginning to suspect that it's the same stuff that's already appeared on the Guv'nor series. Anybody know for sure? Jules |
