HARD TRAVELLIN' - HARD TRAVELLIN'
IMPOSSIBLY RARE FOLK ALBUM FROM 1971, PRIVATELY PRESSED ON THE FLAMS LABEL & IN STUNNING CONDITION.....
**** LIMITED PRESSING OF ONLY 99 COPIES ****
FLAMS RECORDS WERE STARTED BACK IN 1968 BY JOHN CREE AS AN OUTLET FOR HIS DRUM TUTITION LP'S, SEVERAL OTHER TITLES WERE ISSUED BY SMALLER (NOW CULT) ARTISTS THAT HAD PLAYED AT THE LOUIS ARMSTRONG CLUB SUCH AS HARD TRAVELLIN' & MIRKWOOD......THESE RELEASES WERE PRESSED IN ONLY SMALL AMOUNTS & AS SUCH ARE NOW HUGE COLLECTABLES...EXTRACT BELOW TAKEN FROM THE WEB:
My father had formed a record label, FLAMS, in 1968 to market his drum tuition LP. In Dover, with Ron Nunn recording and designing and printing sleeves, FLAMS released two albums by The Bod Bowles Jazz Band. On Volume 1, I played the guitar belonging to Bod's wife, Jackie, on 4 tracks when the banjo player (Pete Mercer) was unable to make the session. The sleeves had already been printed, so I didn't receive a mention. FLAMS also released LPs by the Saturday residents at The Louis Armstrong, Hard Travellin' (FLAMS FR 1065) and by the Friday residents at The Louis Armstrong, Mirkwood (FLAMS FR 1067). At the time of writing, these last two are quoted in reference works on collectors' records at £800 and £400 respectively - we pressed only 99 copies. Strangely, the Bod Bowles item on which I played, is not quoted
