Hi Roger,

Your enquiry is much appreciated.

I am afraid that until Cooking Vinyl re-release the albums there is nothing I can do. We are currently discussing getting them released sooner than January 2006.

They do turn up on the Internet occasionally, but I do know that stocks are now pretty low everywhere. Sometimes members of this forum turn them up at online cd stores, if anyone knows of a store with stock of King Guitar or Second Mind, please let Roger know on this thread.

Thanks Roger, keep an eye on the website for details of the re-release.

Shine On,
Michael.

Hi Roger,

I bought both CDs earlier this year. I bought Second Mind from www.roots2music.com and King Guitar from www.amazon.co.uk. Amazon have a system which links you to other internet retailers if they don't have the item you are looking for in stock themselves. I'd give them a try first.

Good luck!

Ps Goes without saying that both CDs are fab!

Thanks very much for the replys. I will try both sites Joe and if I have no luck I guess I will just have to wait till Cooking Vinyl release them.
Thanks again for the replys Michael and Joe.

Regards Roger.

Hi Roger, I saw both of these CDs in Virgin in Glasgow last week. I cant remember the prices but I could check tomorrow after work. My daughter takes Dance Classes twice a week and I spend a couple of hours browsing the music shops that are open late. The Buchanan Street branch has a great Jazz and Blues section. If you want I could probably pick them up for you. Failing that, if you search for MM on Ebay there is a dealer selling both CDs for 6.99 and 9.99.

Happy hunting

Thanks very much for the offer Alex, I have managed to get both CD,s of amazon.com.
Both are brand new and a similar price to those you have qouted.
That said it is really nice to visit a site were people are so helpfull, us blues fans are a nice bunch.

Regards Roger.

Hi Alex & Roger,

Roger >Hey that's great you found the albums at Amazon.com! They are getting pretty damn rare, there really can only be a handful left at stores around the world.

Alex >You are very kind and as Roger says it is great to be part of such a friendly community.

The two albums, Second Mind & King Guitar, will be re-released on Cooking Vinyl records as soon as possible. In this funny old world we inhabit, that will probably make the Catfish Records copies of these albums quite collectable. I wish I had some!

I am currently half way through recording a new album for Cooking Vinyl.......so there's another in the pipeline :-)

Shine On,
Michael.

Quite a few of Michael's CD's on UK ebay today if you are searching.

[Michael Messer]

They certainly do!

Slidedance > MOONbeat > King Guitar > Second Mind

Thanks Colin,

Shine On,

Just to say on my travels doing the Universty run I made a detour through the huge Virgin (?) in B'ham centre and saw both CDs were in the racks - actually I bought the intriguing JSP set of Mountain Blues, I'd better go and put one on...

[Michael Messer]

Who is this huge virgin in Birmingham with both of my CDs?

Shine On,
Michael.

I think it's Doris Branson, 'cant miss her 'cause she's got such big racks..
