Thank you for entering this little selection - I thoroughly enjoyed it. During the earlier part of the morning I was rifling through my library of cd's and answered a question of my own which I asked of you a few years ago. It was about a 1953 medley by Reginald Dixon. It has turned up on a double cd called 'Reginald Dixon - Mr Blackpool' and contains about seventy tunes processed by Terry Hepworth with the aid of digital audio restoration on REXX 332. The impressive quality is astonishing (my records show it was an Amazon purchase in 2018 and had skipped my notice) - just thought I'd let you know. Bon Chance, Ian

Hello Ian, I've just had a look at Amazon re the Dixon CD's and find I have got the Double CD album "The Very Best of Reginald Dixon". Re my CLS uploads, some of which have been on my KZfaq channel for a long time, there aren't any different tracks I haven't got already. Most of my Dixon 78's came via my late father who was a keen Dixon fan. Even when he was serving in WW11, Grandma Kirner used to purchase the latest Dixon releases for the time the Flight Lt. got home from RAF Colombo, Ceylon! Thanks for your info. all the same. Best Wishes from the Rhondda, PAUL.
