Topic Records - Another Year Another Anniversary

another year another anniversary Welcome to our first newsletter of 2015. Whilst the Topic office recovers from our 75th anniversary celebrations, 2015 sees our colleagues at Fledg'ling Records begin to celebrate 21 years of idiosyncratic record releasing. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Bob Copper's birth, Fledg'ling are releasing a new CD edition of the influential 1963 BOB & RON COPPER 'Traditional Songs from Rottingdean' album. The package contains Bob Copper's notes and bears a striking resemblance to the original design. This is the album that influenced so many performers from the 'Revival' both here, in the United States and in Ireland. During 2014 our 75th Anniversary monthly special offers proved to be very popular. Many of you took the opportunity to catch up with albums you were missing from your collection or purchase a gift for a friend.

The classic TOPIC CDs chosen for January at the special price of only £6.00 each are: TSCD562  WATERSON:CARTHY ~ Holy Heathens & The Old Green Man TSCD577  JUNE TABOR ~ Ashore     Those nice chaps at Fledg'ling will celebrate 21 years of the label with their own monthly special offers.
