The Blues project

I would like to buy on cd a copy of a record that I had and wore out several times in the 1960's and 70's. The Blues Project. It was on Elektra and contained the trax:-
Bad Dream Blues and Don't you leave me here(dave van Ronk) Fixin to Die and leavin here Blues (dave Snaker Ray) My little woman and South bound Train (spider John Koerner)I'd rather be the devil, and Ginger Man (Geof Muldaur) and France Blues and She's Gone(mark Spoelestra) also trax by Danny Kalb and Ric Von Schmidt.

Also have long cherished the possibility of owning a copy of the Leadbelly album soundtrack of the bio film

Any help appreciated.

Big Al,

Did you try the Record Shop link at the top of this page. Dick Greenhaus has proven to me that if it can be had, he can get it, even if it's not listed on his page.

I just received a Washington Phillips CD from him.

Also, you will often see the "Special Product Request" icon at the top of the page, it will connect you with Dick's Camsco.

Mny thanks will try as you suggest. Any relation to Tony Latimer that I was at college in Grantham with in the 60's. He used to be a potter - a very talented artist.

Big Al,

No relation that I am aware of. Where is Grantham?

Big Al,

Nope, I'm on the other side of the pond near Toronto, Canada. I assure you that given my lack of artistic skills there is no way I can be related to Tony.

Please let us know if you have success getting the CD. It sounds like something I would like.

I guess that's not Tony Latimer the Aussie boatbuilder who now lives in Victoria, B.C.

Aloha,

If you can't get a copy, I can see if my albums are still playable. I have the Town Hall album, the Cafe AuGoGo album and Projections. Lovely guys, my wife's sister used to date Tommy Flanders, who is persona non gratis for the rest of the band, and on Danny Kalb's death list. Danny strikes me today, well last I saw him a few years back, as looking like a burned out Cabbie. He still teaches guitar, last I heard. He asked me what I was doing. I told him I was working with Bill Kunstler. He says, "that bum who is defending the assholes who tried to blow up tower records?" I nodded and told him, "right Danny, Tower records, world trade towers... same thing."
Cheers good luck,
oh... also I can also see if there are copies at the old record shop in the west village, on Bleeker St. when I am by there, can't recall the name, but things are rather dear there, probably about $50 a record, last I looked. ...

I also have the album Cafe Au GO Go. Tommy Flanders- Vocalist.
And I have Planned Obsolescene where John Gregory does vocals, and Danny Kalb is not on this album (original leader). I think this one was there last, before breaking up the band.
I might have more but I will have to look through my albums Big Al.

The Blues Project Album sought in the first post is not the same as the band, The Bluest Project with Kalb, Kooper, et al, but a compilation. It is available HERE along with just about every other piece of recorded music you may seek.

Your welcome.
