This is a new discovery for myself, which is exciting and i like the results here too. John Robie is one of my favourite producers with his work with Freeez among other artists.
Thanks Paul 🙂

Paul, First let me say ‘thank you very much’ for all the music you share here, all the time you spend on ripping it from vinyl and then cleaning up the sound, not to mention the accompanying scans you provide along with the info, just to share it free of charge with strangers on the internet I’ve been a long time follower of your blog, but i don’t often place a comment, my excuses for that, i don’t often have much to add to others’ outpouring of appreciation other than that i concur. Rest assured though that i greatly value… Read more »

My sentiments exactly! 🤯 love these hidden gems I wasn’t aware of and their spiderwebs interconnecting them! So cool that you just keep on posting cool things. I’m trying to think of a post that wasn’t cool… 🤔
Thank you, ING 🙂
I agree 100%, ING! Every post is amazing. I love that Paul takes the time to add some info for music nerds like me (and you I assume). I always find it fascinating how a handful of people were involved in so many projects!
Yes I am a bonafide music nerd. 🤓. I always loved reading the liner notes while listening back in the day Simon the digital age Paul’s notes often provide a digital age equivalent!
Dear Paul, How can I ever thank you for so much of the music you so generously give? Especially when it comes to music by my favorite artist and producer, John Robie!! This gentleman, along with Arthur Baker, makes some of my favorite music, EVER!!!! From the early 80’s going forward, I’m always looking for material from these guys, either new or vintage records, it doesn’t matter. Like in this case. Digging through the record shops at the time, I was always searching for music with Robie’s and Baker’s name on the record. I will always remember the day I… Read more »
P.S. This is so great for Valentine’s week, Paul!!
You’re welcome, Jeff 🙂
