A cry for help ! I've been hunting the net regularly over the last 6 months trying to find a copy of the album, 'Singing from the Inside' by Iain MacKintosh, specifically for his version of the song 'William'
by Leon Rosselson. But have had no luck at all. Does anybody know of a copy or have a copy they would be willing to sell ?
Cheers
Mick O'Farrell

Mick,
I used to sing this years ago and I am sure I must have a copy of the song somewhere. I'll have a dig through the archives tomorrow and see what I can come up with.

I'm definitely not selling! But if you'd be satisfied with a cassette copy for the time being I could send it to you. Also, I could ask Iain whether he has any copies left. He had it turned into a CD as well. Send me a PM if you're interested.
The lyrics can be found here.

Hi Suzanne and Chris,
Thank you very much, both of you for your offer of help.
Chris I sent Suzanne a reply by PM, but when I tried to do the same for you, it came up with about 50 variations on the name Chris and asked which one I wanted to use. I'm not very familiar with the mudcat format, so it might have been me doing somthing stupid !
But anyway as I said to Suzanne, any version of this song I can get would be much appreciated, and obviously I would cover any costs involved.

Mike,
Thanks for your reply. I did indeed spend the following morning digging through archives and although I couldn't find a copy of the tape I did find the words. They are, however, exactly the same as the link that Suzanne put on so you are all sorted! I did, however, have a wonderful morning rummaging through boxes of tapes and folders - ah! the memories. Thanks for that.
Chris

Mick, I'm afraid you can't PM Chris because he's a guest. Only members can exchange PMs. (Good reason to become one, isn't it?)

MCFat, Iain isn't on the Net, and I'm not prepared to post his home address here, but if you send me a PM revealing your identity I'll ask him for permission to hand over his phone number :-).
