This was new to me too...it's not in the price guide though which is a little odd. Wouldn't be surprised to see it go for a fairly hefty price...

Yes it is rare, it comes up from time to time, I am sure someone will be along soon to tell you what it is really like. He sang at Cropredy I 1982 I think!

i saw him perform with the 3 deperate mortages at salford university about 1976
you wouldnt ague with him ,or tell him to his face he was ****, but he was and it is.
its just the pub rock FC line up going through the motions of being a country band
however it is by FC and as rare as hens teeth so worth having, but not at any price

Wasn't he a wrestler?
I think I've got a track and other related stuff on an old sampler.

He was indeed a wrestler, and on the evidence of this, should have stuck to the ring. Its RUBBISH.  Completists only. Worth about 50p (which is what my mate Paul paid for it in a charity shop). |

A completist asks: do Linda and Sandy sing backing vocals throughout this, or just on one track? I'll take your word for it that it's a rubbish record! |

At the time, Wrestling was compulsory viewing on a Saturday morning for many people and the top Wrestlers were extremely popular. Fairport were the record label's "House Band" and as a result when some gormless **** bright spark of a junior executive came up with the idea that Brian should make an album, guess who got the gig? The friendships made did come in handy though. Peggy tells a very funny story about Brian being his "enforcer" in a dispute with a garage. They (Fairport) all appear throughout the album from what I can remember. I really don't wan't to listen to it again to confirm exactly which tracks! Jim has a copy (it cost him a pint - I think I got the better of the deal!)- he might help out |

You mean you don't like XXXV one of my favourites and my first Fairport record Each to his own Ollie! My thoughts on this album have been aired many times on here - some agree, some don't! What really annoys me is that I can't throw my copy away - It was the first present my Mother in Law ever bought me outside of Birthdays & Christmas, and she still asks me if I still have it every time I see her! |

Why not just glue it shut and stick it to the wall - then Ma-in-Law knows you still have it and you know you don't have to inflict it on your ears any more  |

So, how many other "gems" are out there - crappy vocalist chancing his (or her arm) knows a record exec and ends up cutting an album backed by Fairport? |

I quite like My Love Is In America & Talking About My Love but that's about it I'm afraid. |
