They are "Down The long Road", "Postcards Home", and "1977", all or which are excellent. Why does not Topic re-release these albums on CD? |

Market research indicates, presumably, indicate that Topic would be unlikely to recoup the initial outlay involved in remastering and CD pressing. (Though I wouldn't rule out future download releases). Meanwhile, The Red Haired Lad and The Common Stone are out here on CD. |

03 Aug 07 - 04:00 PM (#2118525) Subject: RE: Review: Bob Davenport's Topic albums From: The Borchester Echo Dave Burland recorded an LP (yet another of the Lost Leaders) with the title The Dalesman's Litany. But as far as I can recall. Bob Davenport has never recorded the song. It's not on his own Lost Leaders with the Boldon Banjos or the Marsden Rattlers. |

However, it is a sad state of affairs in this country when one of England's finest artist should be aloud to lanquish in obscurity instead of being treated like a national treasure. |

Besides, the comment about the "national treasure" was 13 years ago; it's unlikely that the original poster will read your question by now. |
