Once again...and I feel a strong sense of deja-vu...we are not just talking about Nic Jones regardless of how many times "Guest" wishes to use the phrase 'Jones Jihad'!!

Colin Irwin, in the April 2000 edition of Froots, when reviewing the unexpected re-release of 'Dalesmans Litany' referred tothe "infamous lost generation of folk records gathering dust by a company seemingly for the sole purpose of gazing at their rather primitive sleeves" ( I rather like some of those sleeves but that's by the by ).

"Guest" made the point earlier that we've all been clamouring to get this material re-released and now it is we still aren't happy. We might be if, for once, things seemed to be done properly...not CD-R's slipping surreptitiously onto the market-place but the quality recording and markettong the "lost generation" deserve.

All the best.........Harry Basnett.
