Recommended stuff
I am currently preparing a list of several hundred 78s, 45s, LPs, CDs that will shortly be for sale.
Rather than sell them individually, I would rather sell them all together, or at least all in each category. Buyer to collect in southern England.
Anyone wanting to see the lists can contact me now.
Current projects
I'm currently working on two music-related projects. They're big ones, but they have serious deadlines so you may see them soon.
'The Memphis Blues Box' - a set of 20 CDs containing all the best blues music recorded in Memphis by Memphis-area singers and musicians from 1927 right through to the 1970s when the days of the 78 and 45 rpm single disc ended. Due out first of 2020.
'Tennessee Troubadours' - a book collecting together many of my unpublished and formerly-published but much updated interviews and features on musicians who criss-crossed the mid-South and beyond in the 1940s, 50s and 60s. Due out in 2017/2018.
