I've just learned that the only PBS LP which had not been issued on CD (STARDANCER, 1972) has finally been released on CD. The first of 2 albums on the BLUE THUMB label. The 2nd album (SUNFOREST, 1973) has been available on CD for many years. A subsidiary of CHERRY RED RECORDS (UK), LEMON RECORDS issued both albums last year: Lemon CDLEM 128 STARDANCER Lemon CDLEM 129 SUNFOREST Best wishes, Thomas. |

Not overly concerned about them coming out on CD, since I still enjoy playing them on vinyl. But he has put out a couple cd's with some outtakes and live performances. As well as a relatively recent cd Journal of the Plague Year (1999)--which had some wonderful songs! And there's lots of news about his work as a civil rights lawyer--some positive (successfully winning an anti-discrimination suit re. forced retirement) and some not so positive from my persepctive. (fighting to stop a treatment centre from going up in a residential neighbourhood). But no new music, unfortunately. Wonder if he's writing any. |

The cover art is better on the LP's I think. I saw Tom Rapp perform back in 1974 and it was a great concert. |
