21 Feb 17 - 10:13 PM (#3840634) Subject: Archie Fisher debut album re-release From: Ross Campbell The Matt Hyland thread prompted me to look for Archie Fisher albums on eBay/Amazon. Archie Fisher's debut LP, which I practically wore out, was where I first encountered the song. The album seemed to disappear into the Dave Bulmer abyss for years, with the occasional spotting of allegedly CD-R versions. Just came across this on Amazon, available March 3rd 2017, £11.90 + £1.26 unless you spend £20 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Archie-Fisher/dp/B01N2WJ5CO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1487730483&sr=8-3&keywords=archie+fisher Released on the Chariot Records label, also available from Proper Records Distribution from Friday 24th February 2017, £10.49 post free. http://www.propermusic.com/label/Chariot-Records-6048 I cannot recommend this album highly enough. The choice of songs is excellent, while the musical arrangements are as tasteful as you could wish for. Other Archie Fisher and Barbara Dickson albums also appear to have been recently re-released by Chariot Records (Orfeo and Thro' Recent Years). Ross |

Archie made other gooduns too; however, IMHO, "Orfeo" wasn't one of them :) Ah well, 99 outa 100 ain't bad! Cheers! R-J |

There is a USA Iowa based company of that name, but don't see the Archie Fisher albums listed. US Amazon lists the album at comparable price (perhaps a bit less expensive), which usually implies it is US based label, or strong US distribution. US Amazon imports are considerably more expensive (usually) than buying from a Euro source. Thomas. |

28 Feb 17 - 01:32 PM (#3842169) Subject: RE: Archie Fisher debut album re-release From: Reinhard I bought Archie Fisher, Orfeo and Thro' the Recent Years from Amazon and just got the latter two album. The Amazon store said these albums were on the Chariot Records label but the CDs I got are on Gonzo Multimedia with the issue numbers CTVP015CD and CTVPCD016. The essays in the booklets are dated June and August 2016 so the CDs *are* recent reissues. |

To date the label has released three critically and commercially successful albums from Barbara. These were 'Time and Tide' in 2008 and then in 2009, 'Full Circle' and the double live album 'In Concert'." |
