Genuine and respect
"Peter Skellern has ALWAYS been my faaave Singer-Songwriter and ive loved him since 69. Youre a Lady will always be my fave song of all. "Kissing In the Cactus" is my fave Album of all and it was never released on CD from Vinyl UNTIL NOW. To release his albums on CD that were only on Vinyl has taken a passion and dedication that has produced this package of these two CDs inPeters memory/ I met him, had tea with him at his house in Suffolk, Im still broken hearted at his passing.Thank you guys for your dedication in producing these fine CDs and keeping his memory alive. Please include " Have we got news for you-March Hare" CD on the next CD " MY girl and me " single theme tune and some of his Spirit stuff towards the end with Liberia ( also hi stuff ith his daugher Kate)m sure there are lots of material that can be released. Again well done for believing in his work. He should have achieved more commercial success. He should have had his Biography written too. 5 Star Albums Thank You Amanda Suffolk

A treasure trove
"Another great value package - a brilliant collection with great sound and informative notes. You will find some of the most sympathetic interpretations of the 20th century songbook alongside Peter s own unique songs that, almost unbelievably, do not suffer in comparison. Peter Skellern was a true treasure and I hope there will be more collections to keep his legacy alive."
John Madden - 17 June 2021
You've done it again!
"Well done Richard. Another superb set of re-mastered Peter Skellern recordings. The sound is superb, the presentation outstanding and the accompanying booklet well written and informative. Much of the information new to me. All the family love the sets we gave them yesterday. Thank you."
