According to our local record shop it's all delayed until next year.
Speaking of Terry I've been playing the new Fun Boy 3 box set that arrived today. Definitely under appreciated.
I think the name and the image put people off.

Looks like the delay of the albums release may have had something to do with Terry Hall. He is no longer going to be on the album apparently. I read this on a Terry Hall Facebook page today.

Re: Don Letts solo Album coming soon
I can't find the post now (of course) but the reason wasn't clear. Something wasn't completed before he passed seemed to be the reason. They also said his name is no longer on the track listing but it is on the Bandcamp page so I don't know. Can you imagine someone spreading misinformation in this day?

Re: Don Letts solo Album coming soon
Seems a very strange one. The release date was set for September this year I think. So I would've assumed the track with Terry would have been finished.Equaliser wrote: ↑14 Sep 2023, 6:47amI can't find the post now (of course) but the reason wasn't clear.

Re: Don Letts solo Album coming soon
Is Don about to get accused of being a serial killer or what? That would actually make him even cooler in my eyes.

Re: Don Letts solo Album coming soon
Well the cd finally arrived today, I've got to say it's pretty good reggae, Don offering up some decent singing too! Shame about the Terry Hall thing and the weird vinyl cancellations...I wonder what's gone wrong...sure I pre ordered this last year! If it does ever make it to vinyl I may pick it up...

Re: Don Letts solo Album coming soon
I got sent two signed cds. Terry is on The Doorman I think. Was supposed to be on The Universe Knows... which has John Cussack on it. It's a solid album that I give 8/10.motorsmell wrote: ↑29 Sep 2023, 1:45pmWell the cd finally arrived today, I've got to say it's pretty good reggae, Don offering up some decent singing too!

Re: Don Letts solo Album coming soon
Is he listed on one of your cds? Not on mine, or can you hear him on the chorus or something, wasn't listening out for him as I presumed he was gone completelyMarky Dread wrote: ↑29 Sep 2023, 2:31pmI got sent two signed cds.
