We live in hope that one day we'll see a comprehensive re-issue of the entire Bellamy back-catalogue, & meanwhile must be glad for those small & gracious mercies - such as stumbling cross the vinyl originals in the most unexpected of places, & revering them like the treasures they most surely are.

Recently I borrowed The Fox Jumps Over the Parson's Gate (Topic, 1969) and was moved to make a wee 'visual presentation' by uniting the title track with the graphics that inspired it. I've mentioned this before, but I think it's especially relevant in this context. Have a look at:

The Fox Jumps Over the Parson's Gate

Also I put a couple of my own attempts at singing songs from the Bellamy / Kipling canon up on YouTube in the hope this would inspire some uploading of footage of the great man himself, but nothing thus far...

Someone out there - surely??
