Wonderful! 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. Peter Edited September 13 by Peter99 amends 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Thinksmart Posted September 13 Author Share Posted September 13 (edited) 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. Edited September 13 by Thinksmart 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Davey S Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Nice one , hopefully something gets back to him because personally I would rather purchase this release than spend money on the original ABC cut. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Thinksmart Posted Saturday at 11:37 Author Share Posted Saturday at 11:37 You make a great point, no money actually returns to artists from old vinyl. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Thinksmart Posted yesterday at 09:12 Author Share Posted yesterday at 09:12 I have now listened to this CD a few times and the album with all the extra songs is wonderful. Well recommended. We can only hope Expansion continues these high quality, licensed reissues. On his show at Solar, Richard said they are working on the Alvarez reissue a few months ago.
