Thanks Ralphie for that. Yes, I do know the whole sorry saga and I do understand why the Joneses are highly suspicious of record companies. However, it is a shame that "In Search of Nic Jones" and "Unearthed" are not more readily available as they are two wonderful CDs - great artwork, good notes, and great music - that should be listened to anyone who likes folk music. I'm sure that apart from diehard Nic Jones fans, others who have heard Penguin Eggs and who loved it would like to listen to his other work, but do not know of its existance, which is a shame. Topic, as far as I am aware, are highly reputed and have kept Nic's Penguin Eggs in the shops where people can find it. Lets just hope Dave Bulmer doesnt buy out Topic.
