Enough to read the list of the musicians involved... the names speak for themselves...
The concert was recorded in 1977 and published two years later

ALLAN TAYLOR & FRIENDS - Behind the mix (Stockfish, 2000)
Allan Taylor sings and plays some excellent songs... and tells us episodes of his search following Alex Campbell's musical footsteps, thoughts and recollections... and then we hear stories about Derroll Adams, Jack Kerouac, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Rab Noakes, Woody Guthrie... On the record we find two songs played by Campbell, duets and "interviews"with Adams, etc.
This album - as far as I know - came out as a supplementary CD in a special edition of "Colour to the moon". Seems to be a limited edition of 333 items, half the number of the beast, but I learned not to be too trusting about numbers, in cases like this ;)

A curiosity:
Last week (begining of Feb 2011), one of my visitors wrote me that in another private website, in Jan 2011, a person named M...... has used this picture above for his own upload, (far from him/her, of course to mention my name!) - funny is that M. doesn't know that the original picture didn't bear the name "Allan Taylor", nor the title "Behind the mix". It was me the one who pasted these two writings on the photo ;-))) - This also shows that very likely M. doesn't own the CD we talk about, but that he/she took it from E-Mule, where, once again, was uploaded by me, in FLAC. Now, for what regards myself, doesn't change much if people take albums from my site for other places (someone else did the same for Alex Campbell's "In Copenhagen" - see my entry), but the fact of not mentioning my name (and this happened already a number of times) means that THESE PEOPLE must certainly have some reason why, which I can't imagine what it is... Ahhh, see how the world goes ... :-))

ALLAN TAYLOR - Old friends - new roads (Stockfish, 2007)
Allan Taylor writes:
"I'm still not ready to record a CD of new songs – maybe this will happen next year – so for the meantime I've made a CD of old songs for those people who have waited so long. - I decided to record the whole CD with just voice and guitar or voice and piano (played by Lutz Möller), the idea being that it is in fact a short private concert for you."
********************************************
A deeply intimist album, essential arrangements, phosphor bronze strings, rays in the darkness, great inspiration, in many many cases these revisions sound much better than the originals, sporadic influences of Jack Hardy and Leonard Cohen in singing, something that marks a certain evolution...

For all those (like me) who sincerely loved "Sometimes" and "The lady"
Less recommended for those who are into "The American album" and "The traveller"
Allan Taylor kept his promise of a new CD in 2009 with the beautiful "Leaving at dawn"
