Amazon wouldn't even know about Bulmer. Why should they?
And as I said above, I certainly am not blaming anyone for buying badly produced CD-Rs. If that is all that is available. The money for Bulmer is peanuts anyway.
Which is why I can't understand what prevents him from doing a deal with all the artists on the old Leader/Trailer labels that he legitemately owns the rights to?
Everyone would make a lot more than they are now. (Apart from the ones who are now dead of course,)
Even in these financially straightened times. A complete box set of all of Nic Jones output, complete with sumptuous booklet (a la Sandy Denny, Fairport, and many others) could be a money spinner for him, and the artists as well. After all Neil Wayne did the same with the Free Reed recordings over the past few years, and jolly good they are too.
Well, I'm not holding my breath on this one.
It's just so sad. I hope Mr Bulmer sleeps soundly at night.
