Subject: RE: Artist: The Cambridge Buskers
There is now a 4 CD compilation (about AUD$45) ABC Classics 480 0136 (ABC Aust) - over 130 tracks with what appears to be most of their stuff from 1977 to 1985 including the Deutche Gramaphon stuff - about 8 LPs worth! It should be available everywhere sooner or later, or overseas people probbaly can get it in a hurry from The ABC Shop (at abc.net.au).
The cover notes say that Michael is now teamed with Ian Moore as The Classic Buskers.
Loved these guys when they first surfaced on ABC National Radio back in the early 70's - but then Tom Leherer used to get a lot of play too!
I think they did tour Aus once, anybody know if Michael has a website?
BTW, the notes say that they worked on 123 TV shows with a German Comedian as "a backing goop"!!!
How many of you guys have ever been part of "a backing goop"!!!
