GRAHAM RUSSELL & ORIGINAL CAST - THE HEART OF THE ROSE: A ROCK OPERA
While this is not a bootleg recording, it is out of print and nearly impossible to find. If you're lucky enough to find a copy for sale, the seller will have set the price so high that it is robbery. This beautiful opera showcases Graham's extraordinary talent as a composer and should be archived. The music is epic and sweeping, as is the story....the love story of Robin Hood & Marian. I remember reading way back in the early 80s that Graham had been working on a rock opera called Sherwood. This is the result of that work, decades down the line, a vision realized.

  2. My friend, I got a copy of this Graham's solo project a long time ago. It features great songs, but now I wonder if you'd have a "Celestine's Travelers" copy to share here. I do miss one. By the way, I'll wait to check out your "The Earth Is DVD" copy before I post mine on the Brazilian blog. Something tells me yours will have much better video and audio quality than mine lol Happy New Year!

  3. Hey, Tony...I am still working on my copies of The Eath Is...Live and the Cuba concert. I recovered almost all the data on the Cuba DVD yesterday but it is still not riping complete, the last ten minutes is cut off. I will work on it again today and then move on to The Earth Is. I have a feeling we will be going with your copy of The Earth Is because mine won't rip beyond 34 minutes....but I will try to recover the data again. I will also send an email to my friend MJ (I think you know her too) and see if she will send me another copy of each. I'll keep you up to date, my brother.

  4. Oh, about Celestine Travelers...somewhere in some box I'm sure I have the copy I received about 5 or 6 years ago. I am hoping to track it down.
