I have all of Nic Jones' old Trailer/Leader albums on vinyl, and wouldn't part with them for the world. "Banddogs" is one of my all-time favorite albums! The combined efforts of Nic Jones, Pete and Chris Coe and Tony Rose is a whole greater than the sum of its parts.

Don't forget Nic's number on "The Transports", Poor Fellows - one of Peter Bellamy's more inspired songs sung deliciously.

Fellside released a sampler album on vinyl that I think was done as a benefit for him. Called "Flash Company", it had numbers by the cream of Fellside's recording artists: Gerry Hallom, Jez Lowe, Linda Adams, Martin Carthy and many others. It also had a track of Nic singing "The Warlike Lads of Russia". (It sometimes seems to me that The Black Family learned half their repertoire from Nic and the other half from Archie Fisher...) I don't know if it's been re-released on CD (my copy's on vinyl again), but it's well worth having, especially if Fellside is still donating part of the proceeds to Nic and his family!
