Subject: RE: Free Rare Old Folk Album Downloads
Working Musician - might I suggest that any inconsistencies in my approach arise from you misunderstanding what I wrote back there. Fact is bootlegging is part & parcel of the music industry & the most interesting recordings are very often the unofficial ones. Which reminds me, does anyone have a copy of the original radio broadcast of Anthems in Eden they might share with me? Or maybe it's part of the Within Sound sets Pip has linked to...

When I say a lot of us are in a similar position I mean that many of us did records in the past which are no longer available at realistic prices (one I was involved with goes for £100+) and have, therefore, found a place in the blog scene. I find it quite heartening to be honest. Here's a Dark Folk album we did back in 1988 for United Dairies, which actually saw a CD reissue ten years ago in the USA, but I never saw a penny for either, though in both cases I received a few free copies:

Shekinhah : Masstishaddhu : 1988 As one comment has it: This is the most fuckedup abyss of daarkness i've ever heard. Sounds about right!
