COOPE / BOYES / SIMPSON CODA
No Masters Cooperative CODA marks a farewell to touring from Coope, Boyes & Simpson.

VARIOUS ARTISTS I’VE GOT THE BLUES BUT I’M TOO DAMN MEAN TO CRY JSP Records A 4CD box set of protest, resentment, despair. Well, it’s the blues after all. But frequently the message is expressed with wit and humour. Occasionally, as with both the Mississippi Sheiks and the Memphis Jug Band – who complained about police corruption – the sentiments were unambiguous. And, as it happens, never so relevant as today.
McCALMANS LOST TRACKS Greentrax Recordings A vintage collection of songs that never made it on to any of their 26 albums. Includes 19 tracks from the three McCalmans’ line-ups between 1964 and 2010, when they retired. Edited by Ian McCalman from studio recordings, live tracks, rehearsal tapes, final concert songs and other sources. A tribute to the late and sorely missed Derek Moffat and Nick Keir.
