I'll have to look out for that - Bobby Hutton has a huge treasure trove of material. Good sleeve notes too. A must buy for many. 

He has a fantastic namesake - Bobby the treasurer of the Black Panthers at 16. He died as a hero of the black American rights struggle. I have a great original, framed photograph of him.

Two greats, one name.

Davey S - Expansion licence properly, his contract with the original ABC label I do not know. I cannot specifically comment on that, but this is done properly and took a long time to release.

Bobby appeared at Blackpool in 2016 organised by Richard who is a director of Expansion, and has mentioned dialogue to make this happen on his radio shows. So given Expansion's long history of doing releases properly, I trust that is the case here too.

Nice one , hopefully something gets back to him because personally I would rather purchase this release than spend money on the original ABC cut.

You make a great point, no money actually returns to artists from old vinyl.
