HUDSON FORD NEWS

HUDSON FORD BOXED SET

There's a new review of the boxed set by Lindsay Sorrell, and an interview with Hud here.

Released 5 May. You can order at Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/M-Albums-Hudson-Ford/dp/B06XHBGZ6Z

For a long time we have been waiting for Hudson Ford, an important part of the Strawbs story, to be released on CD. There have been some bootlegs, some Japanese card sleeve releases, but now there are firm plans for a proper boxed set release of the three A&M records, with bonus tracks, released by Caroline International. As well as the three albums, the boxed set includes non-album single B-sides and other unreleased tracks (such as "When The Lights Go Out" which was only ever on the Repertoire sampler). Sleeve notes by me.
