Comments and Reviews


Kevin Walsh1 4th Apr 2024		@TopPopper can you tell by his voice who Herbert Floog really is?



Fokeman ● 23rd Feb 2016		I've just put up the Sydney Carter and Sheila Hancock LP on Transatlantic that preceded this by a few months. Stephen Sedley and Ralph Trainer appear on that LP too. It seems they were moving in the same circles of the CND, WMA, and London political community.



TopPopper 21st Oct 2015		@ Fokeman - I have today joined the very small club of people who own a copy of this LP. I finally found it! Better scans coming soon...



TopPopper 18th May 2014		A development. This LP was released in New Zealand too (see linked release below), and the sleeve notes add a good deal of info. I think we should wait for a UK copy to confirm what it says on the sleeve, before amending the details above - although it's probably going to be the same.



TopPopper 15th May 2014		Well, a copy has turned up on Ebay. A snip at £200! The label scans show nothing, just a list of song titles. The associated info must be on the back of the sleeve, which doesn't help since the copy for sale has a plain sleeve only, marked "Studio copy".



Fokeman ● 23rd Mar 2014		I agree label scans would be good. We could do with having a chat with Leon about the album and who did what. It would be typical of him to have written the MacMillan, Maudling & Macleod tracks himself and then given them credit. He did similar political songs on the "Songs For City Squares" ep on Topic.



TopPopper 13th Mar 2014		Leon's presence looms largest, but there are others on it, not least Sydney Carter. Also, Ralph Trainer, who was in the Three City Four with Leon. It's difficult to know how to credit the album and individual tracks, given that it's a collaboration. Some good label scans would possibly help. I also wonder about the true origins of the songs (if that's what they are) supposedly written by the politicians.



Fokeman ● 12th Mar 2014		Leon Rosselson performs all of his own songs on this LP. Each of the other tracks needs individual corrections but it should be considered as more or less a Leon Rosselson LP. I think that he is the only one in the world with a copy though...
