Just announced at Ba Da Bing records: a lovingly assembled and remastered collection of all the known recordings of the late Jackson Frank – a man who made but one LP and one single in his lifetime (both in 1965), but influenced a lot of people. 67 tracks, 33 unreleased – plus the sample remastering of one of the LP tracks available to compare/contrast via the page/link below sounds fantastic. Interest declared: I supplied notes (as requested, a slight update of my previous notes for a Sanctuary 2CD set) and three unreleased tracks. Well done to the guys at Ba Da Bing for such a painstaking job!

…I’ve just noticed how astoundingly cheap the set is (in myriad variations):

??????????? Bloody hell!
Holy crap, that badabingrecords.com website has to be one of the worst web presence disasters I’ve ever seen. Cannot figure out how to pre-order the album from there at all. I’ve given up. Tell you what Colin, they need someone to have a quiet word to tell them to find a web designer who wants to deliver benefit to the business, rather than polish his/her own html knob.
Having said that, and having also shelled out for the Sanctuary double a couple of years back, I’m glad to say that the Grapefruit website actually puts function above form, and I’m in. Thanks for the heads-up Colin!
$55 for shipping is a bit steep.
Are any configurations available in the UK?
Strewth – no idea why you think it’s that expensive – I got charged $13 for shipping, making a grand total of $29, which is about 20 quid all told.
