As are the other 3 "lost" albums(see threads passim) Guard that cassette with your life. And, add this thread to your tracer, and check every week or so. Still trying to sort out the printing/pressing stuff. But, the cover will either appall or delight you ! You'll just have to wait....(what's another month in 20 years!) Thanks for your kind words, all of you Ralphie xx |

Well Chaps!
Mollie Music
But.....If you can resist sending off your cheques until nearer the end of the month, Julia doesn't want a lot of money lying around, and you never know, there might be some problem with the pressing...(hope not!!)
Distribution will be by either
Not sure of prices as yet, but, They're both keeping lists of interested parties. |

01 Oct 01 - 06:57 PM (#562909) Subject: RE: Nic Jones Unearthed Track List From: GUEST,Peter from Essex November? Fish Records are offering it on their site now! Was that a magical turnround at the pressing plant or is somebody trying it on? By the waym does anybody know what it is that Amazon are selling under the title "In Search Of Nic Jones"? |
|
02 Oct 01 - 01:51 AM (#563166) Subject: RE: Nic Jones Unearthed Track List From: Ralphie Peter Hi Yes...I noticed that too....!!Mmmm I can confirm that apart from a few review copies that have had to go out to the press/Radio and the like. The masters go off to be pressed later this week !! A bit of enthusiastic marketing going on here methinks! But, as I'm on... The way to get the most money to Nic and Julia is to send a cheque to them personally...cuts out all the middle men Nothing against distributors. It's the only way to shift large quantities...but as this is primarily a fund raising excercise...OK?? And...PLEASE!...don't post until later in the month Regards Ralphie |
|
02 Oct 01 - 03:54 PM (#563626) Subject: RE: Nic Jones Unearthed Track List From: dougboywonder "In search of Nic Jones" is a live/radio compilation froma few years ago. It has some really great stuff on it although the sound quality of some tracks leaves something to be desired... most of the tracks apparantly came from tatty cassettes that Julia had used to try to jog Nics memory after his accident. Really good stuff though. |
|
03 Oct 01 - 03:49 AM (#564038) Subject: RE: Nic Jones Unearthed Track List From: Ralphie Dougboy.... Thanks for that, and yes you're right re Quality on "In Search of..." But, the consequence of that release, was that, more recordings fell out of various closets worldwide, hence the new release !! Having said that, there are 3 or 4 tracks on "Unearthed" which are still a bit naff quality wise, but have been included at the request of the family, or friends. And as we intend this to be the last of the re releases, we wanted to get it as complete as possible. hence 33 tracks and a running time of nearly 2 hours. Best wishes Ralphie |

28 Oct 01 - 01:03 PM (#581415) Subject: RE: Nic Jones Unearthed Track List From: Ralphie UPDATE...!! Due to pressing problems (sic!) In Austria.... Release date is now 10th Nov. All who have sent cheques, thank you, and please possess your souls in patience....I've seen the pile of letters, and recognised some familiar names... After all these years, what's another week to wait?? Cheers Ralphie |

It is indeed out !.....I was playing a bit safe on the date as there were potential problems which in the end never happened! The good news is that it's in profit already...Not bad Eh? Thanks to all you good people and to the Guys and Gals who run the "Cat" for allowing me to promote this project. Nic and Julias retirement home in Spain is one step closer thanks to you all. In these dark days in which we live, it's heartwarming to know that you are all out there Much Love Ralphie xxx |

06 Nov 01 - 03:41 AM (#586545) Subject: RE: Nic Jones Unearthed Track List From: GMT Well, I'm delighted with this album. CD 1 is excellent. CD 2 shows up some of the recording issues (on just a few tracks) that Ralphie warned us about but in no way detracts from what are great performances. (and just when you think it's over ;) I laughed when I first saw the cover (because of Ralphies comment), but feel it is wholly appropriate and very clever. Thanks to everyone involved. Gary |

06 Nov 01 - 04:38 AM (#586565) Subject: RE: Nic Jones Unearthed Track List From: GUEST,Tony in Brussels formerly Fossil Mooman: Yes, I formerly was - probably still am - "Fossil" but I'm back in full time work now so have to post as guest. I'm still involved - running the St Andrew's Folk Nights in Brussels - next one on 16 November, hope to see you there? I wish the Belgian postal system would hurry up with this damn CD... but very glad to see that it looks like being a successful project for Nic and Julia. Can't wait to hear it. |

06 Nov 01 - 09:21 AM (#586666) Subject: RE: Nic Jones Unearthed Track List From: GUEST,graham Unearthed is excellent! Many thanks to Ralph and the others who helped put it all together. I'll have to dig out Noahs Ark and From a Devil from the loft and find some way to play them or convert to a better format. Only slight comment is that maybe the tracks of lower recording quality should be grouped together; trying to listen to Taoist (one of the muddiest) after Annachie (one of the clearest) is too much for my ears to adjust to. Is there any reason why there is no indication of the recording dates for the tracks,(also on In search of..) this would be interesting, especially for reworkings of previously recorded songs. Now all we have to do is to find a retirement home for a Mr B of Harrogate. The current residence of a Mr Archer springs to mind..... |

06 Nov 01 - 02:03 PM (#586877) Subject: RE: Nic Jones Unearthed Track List From: Mac Tattie Yes the CD is verry, verry good, treat yourselves to one soon BUT the nightmareish front cover is in poor taste. There must be loads of good pictures taken at live gigs that would have fited in far better with this set of live and lively recordings. Still mabe it's simbolic or something. cheers |

06 Nov 01 - 05:53 PM (#587007) Subject: RE: Nic Jones Unearthed Track List From: Ralphie To answer a few comments... First the sleeve.....! Knowing both Nic and Tony Hall (the cartoonist) and their black humour....It seemed very appropriate, and no apologies will be forthcoming (You should have seen the grin on Nic's face when he first saw it back in January!) Second....the quality of some tracks...A bit of a frying pan/fire situation here Too much good stuff for a single (74 Min) CD, but not enough for two... After much soul searching, It was decided to put some family and friends faves on the 2nd CD to make up the shortfall, even if they weren't perfect......and at £17 It's still a bargain to me...! Best news of all.......Just about to top 1000 sales...In under a week . Love Ralphie xxx |

06 Nov 01 - 06:22 PM (#587027) Subject: RE: Nic Jones Unearthed Track List From: dick greenhaus CAMSCO Will have it available in about a week. Don't know the price yet, but it should be under 17 pounds ($25.50 US) |

08 Nov 01 - 09:23 AM (#588178) Subject: RE: Nic Jones Unearthed Track List From: wes.w Guest Graham - If you have to dig those LPs out of the *loft*, why not now offer them to someone who might like to play them regularly? Our ancient music centre continues to limp on just so we can still play our full set of Nic and the odd Tony Rose. The sound quality on Unearthed is better than our scratchy LPs. We would never dare copy anything on the Leader/Trailer label. Ralphie: I'm a nerd, so I would have liked to have known where and when too! Any chance? I'm told that Messrs Jones's statement re the KitKat could be legally construed as one per CD set sold ... possibly more since its a double CD. I believe there's a solicitor in Yorkshire skilled in these matters. Or was that Yorkies; I forget now..... but think about this: '1K KK in a week!' thanks to the legal profession?

12 Nov 01 - 06:36 AM (#590677) Subject: RE: Nic Jones Unearthed Track List From: GUEST,Graham Ralph, on the Folk Review album there was a second Nic Jones track, "The Bonnie Banks o' Fordie" Any idea what happened to it? I thought it should have been with Warlike Lads, but I haven't seen it reissued anywhere Anorak corner- Rue the Day, one of the tracks for which Nic has forgotten the source sounds the same as Man of Kyandra on Dave Burlands Benchmark album According to the sleevenotes it is an Australian version of the song which he learnt from a group called Steam Shuttle. Maybe Nic got it from the same source or from Burland himself |
|
12 Nov 01 - 07:46 PM (#591213) Subject: RE: Nic Jones Unearthed Track List From: Ralphie Graham Fordie has already been released by Fellside, I think on a compilation called "Ballads"....?? We didn't stick it on "Unearthed" because Nic thought it Dull!! Ho Hum As for your other query re "Rue the day"......I honestly haven't got a clue...come on Catters one and all...! Talk soon. Ralphie |
|
13 Nov 01 - 03:09 AM (#591410) Subject: RE: Nic Jones Unearthed Track List From: GUEST,Steve Anorak Redux: Man of Kiandra is a version of "Rocking the Cradle," a widespread broadside ballad thought to have originated in Ireland. The version that became "Kiandra" was collected in Teralba, NSW from a singer named Sally Sloane. Sloane's version did not mention Kiandra, and indeed no traditional version does. The song was altered by A.L. Lloyd to include the town name because he knew a bloke from Kiandra who had a similar problem. So anyone who sings it with a mention of Kiandra got it, ultimately, from Lloyd...though sometimes through intermediaries. Dave Burland and Trevor Lucas are two notables who have covered Lloyd's version. So...If Nic's version mentions Kiandra, it's a sure bet Lloyd's influence was involved. Nic could have got it anywhere during the 70s, when Lloyd's songs were thick on the ground. If not, the song's known all over so it's anyone's guess.... In case you can't tell I don't have my copy yet. Pity me! :-( |

06 Dec 01 - 02:17 PM (#605084) Subject: RE: Nic Jones Unearthed Track List From: Noreen Whoop-di-doo! Got my copy this morning; I waited a little while to give Julia a chance to get her breath back after the first rush, but I don't think the rush has stopped- not that she's complaining! All that I've heard so far is wonderful and I'm looking forward to the rest. Sound quality on the first disc is excellent, much better than I'd expected, and great choice of songs. Get ordering for Christmas presents! UK orders direct from Nic and Julia (address in Ralphie's post above (click)), US orders from CAMSCO (see Dick Greenhaus's post directly above this one). Lots of hugs for Ralphie for getting this completed! Noreen |

06 Dec 01 - 03:19 PM (#605111) Subject: RE: Nic Jones Unearthed Track List From: GUEST,Steve Yes, I also got mine some days ago. It's great! And I can confirm that Rue the Day is A.L. Lloyd's version, for whatever that's worth. Definitely a great album and worth many thanks to all involved, especially Nic, Julia and Ralph. Steve |
