Re: Rubys Fontana Records

Hi All
Sorry to read that Chris does not appear to be going ahead with the CD of Ruby's Fontana records ,any chance Gerald you might now put the 7 tracks in the library. It wont affect the CD if it does come out, well all buy it anyway to get the recordings in the best possible sound.
