Album Story

FIRST OF ALL, THE LADS WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HAS BOUGHT THE ALBUM SO FAR:

THE FIRST PRINT RUN SOLD OUT AND WE ARE NOW ON THE SECOND.....SO THERE'S PLENTY FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T GOT IT YET!!

THANK YOU!

 

 
One of the biggest thanks has to go to Lars Karrback in Sweden,who runs the definitive Mickey Jupp web site for his tireless work in keeping the Jupp / Legend name in the public eye. Without his help we wouldn't have got the publicity or exposure that we've had, nor the sales of the album, which are still ongoing.......

 

BUT NOW...

Firehouse Studios and Wild Bird Records

brings you...

'COUNTRY & NORTHERN'

Album cover

You can buy your copy of the albums, Price £10.00 inc p&p here

We recently discovered 3 x reels of Mick's demos from way back, plus DATs of all the Chris East/ Mickey Jupp songs from when they were writing together in the 80's

Digitising this mass of material is a Mammoth Task!

Lars has already given you a taster of some of the songs ('Favourites') but

Country & Northern is the first volume to go on sale.

In an effort to preserve the true originality of the recordings all we have done is digitally enhanced them for the true Jupp/Legend fans.We hope you like what we've done!!
