Re: Blodwyn Pig & Mick Abrahams
A couple more European picture sleeves. Same songs but I reckon the one on the left is French and the other is possibly Portugese.
The Toggery were one of Mick Abrahams' first bands. This one I understand is a Dutch picture sleeve. Mick is second from the right at the back.

Re: Blodwyn Pig & Mick Abrahams
Found another Blodwyn boot on the web. Only have the image at present so I can't comment on sound quality.
Cassette only release from a gig at the Half Moon, Putney
This is a limited edition "official" taster for the band from 1989/90 when they were in the process of attempting to get some gigs.

Re: Blodwyn Pig & Mick Abrahams
Imo Blodwyn Pig (in all of its line-ups) and Mick Abrahams in partcular, is one of the most underated talents of British blues/rock etc. Had there been a little more "push" by one of the major labels on their behalf then great things would have happened for them. I think Mick would be the first to agree that he hasn't helped his cause that much and although in the last few years he has released some excellent albums, albeit with little promotion, he has also had some right "stinkers" issued in his name - little more than authorised sub standard bootlegs.
I fear that with his recent illness (a heart attack/stroke) we may have seen the best from him although, in fairness, his best is one of the audio delights that we here in the UK produce from time to time. Never a fashionable performer but a solid and consumate musician who loves the music he plays and the fans who have travelled his musical journey with him. In turn the fans have always appreciated the music and have enjoyed every minute of it. This is one of those fans - a musical experience I shall treasure until the end of my days.

Re: Blodwyn Pig & Mick Abrahams
Must admit I haven't seen the dvd but I can highly recommend the book.
There's a sale on at Mick Abrahams-Blodwyn Pig Official site where you can get the book and possibly even the dvd

Re: Blodwyn Pig & Mick Abrahams
Some good pics of Mick and the Blods
You know, in hindsight they should have been "really big" but silly decisions/bad management put paid to that.
