About Me

My Photo
Folk & Jazz fan, specialising in vinyl restoration. Although I would prefer to only post albums that I have paid for, or those of close friends, I am open to suggestions and offers of rare Folk items that need tender care and restoration, provided the supplier has the right of ownership of the physical item. NOT JUST an MP3 COPY of it. To give you an idea, I am prepared to restore vinyl belonging to another person, IF I receive a decent quality scan of the front, back and any relevant information that comes with the LP, preferably at least 2400 by 2400 quality, (600DPI scans for back) along with the sound files in FLAC format as waves are a bit too large to transfer. Then I will check their suitability for restoration. I try to maintain the requirement for a decent set of scans for each item, where possible, as I feel the music is incomplete without it. Sometimes this is just not possible as a lot of my stock came from broadcasting organisations that had their own heavy card sleeves, with information relevant to their prime function, that of providing the disc-jockies with basic details to pass on to listeners. I do wonder what happened to all the original artwork?

* * * B R I A N -- D E W H U R S T * * * The HUNTER and the HUNTED



The recent posting of the Horden Raikes first album
has created a lot of interest in the subsequent material
from Brian Dewhurst. 
He made a few other albums from 1972 onwards, 
the previously posted "King Cotton" being one, he 
also teamed up with other artists to produce two more albums "Bits & Pieces" (1974)

Which was a compilation containing tracks from the 1971
album just presented, and from King Cotton. 
This was followed by "Sea lions" (1977)

A live album, recorded and produced by Mike Harding
featuring Chris Parkinson playing "squeezy things".

The album that most interests me is the one produced
in between these two in 1975.

The Hunter & the Hunted where Brian teams up
with Tom Tiddler's Ground, 17 tracks on a theme
of hunting, poaching etc.


Here are the scans for this LP, in advance of the audio, a decent copy of the front and a very informative higher resolution copy of the rear.






Both these scans will appear in the audio archive



Latest update 
I am working on the audio restoration now, really a delightful album, so much so that I find myself spending more time listening and singing along than actually editing which is something I need to do at these stressful times, I hope you will get as much pleasure out of this album as I have had doing it.  

This album has been donated by a blog visitor who wishes to remain anonymous, because of this, and because of the rareity and value of the album I am asking anyone that wishes to download a copy to leave your email address suitably disguised, in a comment in order that I may send you the password to open the album.

I only do this to rare albums, usually Jazz, I feel it helps to propagate the material only to those that really care for the music and the artists work. It is for this reason that these tracks are encoded at 192k and not the usual 320k, because they will eventually be re-coded and posted on other blogs anyway. It is a sin to recode 320k to 128k or lower, as happens.

Password (Leave comment with obfuscated email) 

Interesting observations:
Total downloads file issue 1 =105 
file issue 2 = 25 
file issue 3 = 
Emails replied to = 24
This means that 1. many more are downloading than 
are asking for the password.
2. the password is being handed around
3. the password is being hacked
The download link now refers to a new version with 
a new password  (as of 28th Feb)
