Nobody's mentioned 1995's "Albion Heart". The lineup on this one was Ashley Hutchings, Simon Nicol, Chris While, and Julie Matthews. All original songs, some absolutely great, especially "Love Is An Abandoned Car" which I can't believe hasn't been covered by many other artists.

No Roses is the only Albion Band record I own.
Haven't listened to it in a while!
Actaully, I haven't listened to it for ages.

Actually, I haven't listened to it for ages.
Rarely a week goes by that I don't play a track or two from that record. Jules |

To add to this point I have an Albion Band track with Chris While. |

A whole track?  Try to contain your excitement and then have a try at the acoustic albums Acousticity, Albion Heart, Demi Paradise (on which that Chris Leslie plays, too)(and that Simon Nicol)

Which was the one when Joe Broughton rode a unicycle accross the stage? Can't remember the music, but it was a really enjoyable evening! (and I'd watch/listen to the brothers Broughton in any incarnation!)
Can't believe Gub hasn't heard All Right Jack - it's really up his street. Was heart-broken when I bought the later Home Service stuff, like later Albions, nice but not rocking.
Also definately agree with LJE, very disappointed they too have dropped off my (Southern) radar.

In my case it is even worse. I have to admit that, until this thread, I had never even heard of Home Service. Total ignorance. Head hung in shame.  Jules |

I guess I'll have to investigate them once I have finished my Albions adventures. Perhaps there is some sort of support group we can join!  |

Me too. I have the Albions' BBC Sessions coming. And I'll not be stopping there, that's for sure. Jules |

My local indie shop has said they can get it for me. Hopefully it wasn't an empty promise! But there's still that link back in this thread for getting it via the interweb... Jules |

I started this thread just over a year ago and since then it has been a real voyage of discovery. Thanks for all your suggestions. I couldn't possibly manage all of them so I have had to pick and choose the ones that I thought might most appeal to me. Those, it seems, are largely the ones that are most difficult to get hold of! I'm not keen on Cathy LeSerf's voice so I rejected those albums but the ones I have now acquired have all brought considerable pleasure. The Prospect Before Us Vintage Albion Band On The Road By Gloucester Docks I Sat Down & Wept ... Live by the Ashley Hutchings All Stars Any day now I am hoping that a copy of The BBC Sessions will pop through my letter box. Today I acquired on vinyl Give Me A Saddle & I'll Trade You A Car and the All Stars' As You Like It. I am listening to the former now and it is great, my favourite since I first heard Rise Up. Next targets? Shuffle Off & 1990. The latter is another one that is rarer than hen's teeth. I think that is far as I am going to delve but stlll....onwards & upwards! P.S. I also bought a John Tams anthology (very good) and Alright Jack by Home Service. Not sure about that one yet. It's a bit serious! |

I have this CD and can heartily recommend it, my fav on it is Long Long road, but all are great songs |

So... I have now been recommended 10 different albums by the Albions (3 of which seem to be quite hard to get) in addition to the 8 I already have, at least 6 AH compilations/box sets, 3 completely different AH projects and 3 albums by an entirely different band! That is 22 albums comprising something like 36 CDs!!!!! Is there nothing you lot don't like? For all things Albion you have to start with Talking Elephant/HTD.If they can't/don't know how to get it then it is probably not possible GT |
