Bobby MacLeod: Simply Solo (Mull Recordings MR1010, 1988)
I know nothing about this recording. I was given it on cassette many years ago, but there was no information about date or label on it. Bobby MacLeod was an accordionist from the island of Mull, and had a long and successful playing and recording career. Some of his compositions are widely known, perhaps the best example being "Charlie Hunter". This recording is as stated: Bobby MacLeod playing completely solo.
Update: I managed to find the original recording on prerecorded cassette, so I have updated the scans to include the original artwork.

ReplyDeleteI have just tried downloading it myself, and it all came through no problem. Can you try again, please, and let me know if you still have problems?
ReplyDeleteOops this just did not come though....though I'll try again just now....
ReplyDeleteBobby was up there with the best....and it will be great to hear his solo accordian....
See comment about Jack Beck...same palaver but with right clicking and using the main file...I got Bobby to go into a mp3 file...thanks for the music and the challenge....
ReplyDeleteDown loaded on to a mac - no issues - many thanks - there is another record of Bobbys which was released on Emerald Gem " The Man from Tobermory " I would love to get that on an MP3 !
ReplyDeleteI think I might have that in the attic, so I'll look it out soon.
ReplyDeleteAlas, I've just had a look, but I don't have the one you mentioned. I was confused with one called "Tobermory Treasure". I have another four or five Bobby McLeod, and in time I'll add them here. Sorry to get your hopes up.
ReplyDeleteHi, maybe I'm completely missing something but what should I be clicking to download these songs? My dad has been looking for these recordings FOREVER! Thanks!
