Is it available through Perfect Pitch? I was at that concert with my son who was learning guitar at the time and Iain took time at the break to talk to him and encourage him. Thank you Iain!! He's still at it! My all time Favorite singer/songwriters are still: Iain, Gene Clark, Eric Anderson, Rick Danko, Tom Rush. That's the Top Level. I have about 1000 other favorites but not of the Top Level. Used to live on the side of a mountain in Colorado for 30 years but now I'm sitting by my lake listening to the loons for the last few times this year. Thanks for the CD collection.

He's joined by Simon Nicol (of Matthews Southern Comfort and Fairport Convention) on cuts 1 and 3, and Richard Thompson (likewise) on cut 2.
The beginning and end of "1944" are both truncated, but just listen to that voice! As has been said so many times before, the voice of an angel...

Loved seeing you at Cropredy. You referenced a show that you did in Philidelphia on you last US tour and that led to the song "Contact". I was one of twelve people in the audience in Lawrence, MA on that tour. Despite the small audience, my wife and I were blown away by your performance. You sang your heart out that night and set an example for integrity in the music business that I had never witnessed. While we miss you here in the US, I wish you the best in your European career

Funky version of "Back of the Bus", interesting, though I think I prefer the original. Probably the most engaging I've ever seen him live; married life seems to be having good effect. Very much looking forward to seeing him Saturday at Cropredy, having come from the US to see him for these two shows. P.S. My 18-year-old daughter loved him last night too...

We realy want to tell you that we are very glad we were there and we enjoyed the perfomance very much.
Sometimes it was tender,sometimes virtuoso (i hope its the right word for what i want to say) but always fascinating in every way.Also thanks to Mike Roelofs and BJ Baartmans of course.
Your cold gave your voice sometimes a new dimension!
Its a good thing to have you back a bit,for all the people who love music.

remarks=Back in 1978 I was 17 when a record called "Hit & run" hit me. I fell in love with that album, and I tried to find out more about who that unknown guy Ian Matthews was. I found nothing (it was not an easy search in Spain at the time). Years passed without further notice, until recently, when digitalizing my old vynil collection, I met the record again. I thought that this time I'd find out; just a few clicks away I was astonished to see that the man I thought to be nowhere was one of the most creative and prolific singers/songwriters of our time. I ordered one record by chance, which happened to be Skeleton Coast. I couldn't believe my ears: every song was a masterpiece. Since then I'm slowly discovering Ian's collection, which is an infinite pleasure.
Outstanding Iain's career can only be equaled to a short range of musicians. Why Iain's talent has gone so low profiled through the years is a mystery to me. This is a complaint! (a pleasant one for sure)

Besides his earlier albums, the Southern Comfort series and from "Saw Thro My Eyes" to "Stealing Home" and "Pure and Crooked" to "God Looked Down", his Plainsong series and his colaboration with Elliot Murphy are my favourites. "Zumbach's Coat" might be going a bit commercial like it's predessessors "Spot Of Indifference" and Shook". All in all, Iain's music is magic.

I understand Iain is currently living in our beautiful province of Limburg.He's become a father and enjoys his family life and stopped(?)his life on the road. Perhaps a bit bold, but would he consider giving a concert in a very nice musicminded cafe in Maastricht, all equipment present, he would only have to bring his guitar. Michael Chapman played there last year and it was a great night. Many years ago I went to see Iain Matthews Southern Comfort in Maastricht, but by then Iain had left the band. Always hoped to hear him play his wonderful music in Maastricht though.
Hoping for an answer, any answer.

remarks=I'm excited about the HI-FI collection due out from Blue Rose.(although I have these recordings) HI-FI was a great band in the Power Pop mode.I'd like to see a collection of any rarites left from the band. Iain mentions in his CD Orphans and Outcasts Vol.2 that he has a live set by Hi-FI recorded in Edmonton Alberta in 1981 that contains a song called Albatross and the set opener "Mr. Soul". HI-FI recorded a couple of songs after David Surkamp left (I think 4) that were never released.So the live set, these unreleased songs, the song Better Not Stay etc. would make for an interesting release. Perhaps fans of Iain's can encourage this! Thanks and I enjoyed your show at the Narrows last year (Fall River, MA)

I see a collection of his HI-FI days are coming out-how about a collection of any unreleased HI-FI material like the 3 songs mentioned in his bio (after David Surkamp left)and the live HI-FI set with "Albatross" and "Mr. Soul"-mentioned in the Orphans and Outcasts VOL. 2 CD? And the song "Thrill of it all".I think HI-Fi was a great power pop band! Please consider it!

(I always loved the live alone/notebook series stuff, for its directness and "purity,: for want of a better word.) Are there any mail order sources for the United States that list most of the catalog? Perfect Pitch seems to be set up for the Euro... I guess that's the bigger market but I'd be more prone to keep on top of releases if it was easier for me, you know?

remarks=Valley Hi was the album that turned me
on to Ian Matthews back in 1973. We
received a promotional copy at our radio
station in Salinas, Calif. I still have
that copy. (Yes, it still sounds
excellent, notwithstanding all the
terrible things people have been told about vinyl in recent years, but that's
another story.) I've been a fan all
these years, through many albums and
record labels. My overall favorite
would have to be Some Days You Eat the
Bear on Elektra from 1974. Many
people are evidently unaware of his
wonderful Windham Hill release from
the late 80's, that label's first ever
vocal release. I met Ian following
an appearance at a club in San Jose
in 1976. Just found the website
today believe it or not.

It's the real gem on that album, the most gorgeous duet with Sandy Denny, which points up an oft-neglected part of what made the very early Fairport so special (yes, and Byrds-like): the wonderful gentle harmony between these two voices. Sandy's distinctive and simple piano also adds so much to it. I'm really hoping someone will put it on the next Sandy Denny rarities album...

remarks=Just checking in. Iain continues to mean much to my life musically, and has for many years. One major goal is to see him perform live, but it appears that his time is being spent in Europe.
Thanks so much for the music over the years.

IF SO PLEASE GIVE ME A PHONE # TO CALL. IF NOT, DO YOU KNOW WHERE THIS CD CAN BE BOUGHT? I ORIGINALLY GOT ONE THROUGH IAIN'S MANAAGEMENT ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO. CANNOT FIND IT NOW. HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY UNDERRATED CONSIDERING HIS GREAT TALENT. I STILL MAINTAIN SOME INVOLVEMENT IN BROADCASTING -- AND HIS RECORDINGS 'DESERVE TO BE HEARD.'

I have a question however: I am desperately trying to get hold of the 1971 album "If you saw thro' my eyes" (also released with "Tigers will survive" in 1993).

I Discovered you with "If You saw you Thru my eyes" which were fantastic.Very few people in France knows you, and it's a very great pity, cause I think that you are one of the greatest singer and creator of the Whole World. I've got many of your albums, but it's very uneasy to get them in France. Go On while a very long long time more, cause you make me dream very much. Regards Jacques Dibon
