Interesting. That's why I've been enjoying looking through the Transatlantic goodies on Sanctuary and choosing albums I didn't buy at the time for one reason or another - usually a combination of lack of funds and not quite loving the music enough, I guess. Re: Bert - I have a pretty extensive collection of his work and it still gives me great pleasure to listen to, including Jack Orion, although, at the time, I found that a very strange and difficult album - so different from his previous work. Since the publication of Colin Harper's book, I've been searching fruitlessly for a copy of "Avocet" which Bert, himself, rates as one of his best, but is unavailable. I'm desperate for it to be re-released. On a Joni note, one of my all time favourite albums is Bert and John (Renbourn, of course) which includes a beautiful version of Goodbye Pork Pie Hat. I wonder if Bob has that one? Good to hear from you, Paul, Jacky
