    Nick, you are really laying an education on the great unwashed masses, and those spruced up,too!
    This is one helluva an album, and an old favorite-maybe MD will see this and see the intrest, and reissue it with bonus material.
    Brighton was a great guitarist, and is sorely in need of a comeback. And NOT AT ALL a clone of Derek, except to people that think SRV is a Jimi clone,maybe.
    Just the thought of Bead records was exceedingly brave and thought-provoking.Everybody marsh tonight!

    Thank you, Nick.
    Wanted to hear this BEAD LP already for a long time.
    More than any other from the catalogue.
    Years ago when I ordered several LPs from PW it was already gone.

    Yeah, this is a really good LP. I had tried to get in touch with Ian a few years ago but it didn't work out. Anyone got solid contact info for him?

    This is lovely stuff, thank you. I confess that I know almost nothing about Mr Brighton. I sincerely hope he will be making more appearances here.

    This music is pure beauty. Thank you very much. I also like the sound, with the distance in which the instruments appear.

    Listening with real interest and enjoyment to this. I was one of the people who wrote to Ian as he indicated that he had some LPs left - hopefully we'll see some form of reissue at some time, as this is very good indeed. Not only Marsh Gas, but a sense of the will o'the wisp around this music.

    I fully agree but I can imagine free uploads in music blogs might make musicians/labels change their mind about re-issuing old material. Some o.o.p. titles reach a few hundred downloads here, documenting an interest in the music which is lovely, but how many of those downloaders would still buy a new re-issued copy if they have a full flac set on their harddrives?
    (I understand the author of the quoted lines above would, so no offence in that direction)

    One might say: Look - this brings attention to a particular release. Right here!
    Well, there's other ways to do that (excluding the freely available flac set).

    I'm absolutely sure the re-issue request above happened out of honest interest, but still... placed under a link to a freely available flac set I can't help seeing a cynical or at least paradox side to it.

    New 1fichier link doesn't seem to work for me, has anyone else tried?

    I assume Nick kas deleted the link.
    I'm in the process of buying this LP from Ian Brighton.
    Shall ask him wether he objects the offering of a link here.
    If not I shall re-up the LP.
