He put on a gig for one particular band I was with and it was pure luck that I found he had set up a ton of recording equipment up in the balcony. Another band were bemused when people told them they had all four of their albums - because to their knowledge they had only recorded three! Willy had put an extra one out on the quiet. So yes, your Eric Bogle story sounds about right. lol<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />ManilaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285972952988060123.post-13783347281528864242012-03-03T14:27:08.734+11:002012-03-03T14:27:08.734+11:00Autogram put out three Eric Bogle LPs of rather po...Autogram put out three Eric Bogle LPs of rather poor recording quality. Eric contends that only one of those was authorised and advises anyone owning them to use them as ashtrays. Thankfully this one is far superior to the Bogle ones.Paul the Stockmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17096130245670029700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285972952988060123.post-16677539173518427862012-03-02T17:42:30.752+11:002012-03-02T17:42:30.752+11:00Many, many thanks for this album.

If I remember rightly, Autogram is Willy Schwenken's label - someone often described as 'interesting' who many folkies would bump into in Germany during the 70s. Willy would often record visiting artists and I imagine there must be an incredible archive somewhere. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks again. :)<br /><br />Manila.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285972952988060123.post-59048938282070638812012-02-20T08:57:20.071+11:002012-02-20T08:57:20.071+11:00A hearty thanks you to you, George and Gonzo--Mart...A hearty thanks you to you, George and Gonzo--Martyn is consistently wonderful and this is a real treat.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01581588491038345516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285972952988060123.post-63918755202366702692012-02-19T15:53:07.637+11:002012-02-19T15:53:07.637+11:00Great album in excellent condition.
