Good news GeorgeH, thanks.
I posted the info a while back that Bulmer had claimed, to a reliable source, that he had returned the Leader masters to the Jones's.
I have not heard any more on that.
In conversation last month with Dick Gaughan, he told me that a number of years ago, when he worked with Bulmer, Dick remastered Nic's 1st album, so that at least should still be in good condition.
love, john.
