A nice surprise!, 2009-07-22 Back in the late seventies I had the Danish variation of this album called "Poor Mouth". After I sold my LP's ten years later i expected a reissue on CD, but to no avail. Now after more than 30 years, Bert's Charisma albums are finally being reissued. I could not wait to get hold on "LA Turnaround", an album I sincerely missed. I bought the other two Charisma albums of course, and to my supprise I found "A Rare Conundrum" on par with "LA Turnaround". It is a very stripped down affair and reminds me a lot of Berts albums from the sixties. Rod Clements from Lindisfarne is the producer and he also contributes fine bass playing all over the album. The sound is crisp and Berts voice and playing is relaxed and brilliant. There is no need to select the best tunes, since they're all very good. This was the last masterpiece before the release of "When the Circus Comes To Town" some eighteen years later!
Bert at his best, 2009-08-21 Having had this album on vinyl since the mid seventies i can only say the cd version is superb.A great mix of berts own songs and great arrangements of traditional songs.His versions of pretty saro and the curragh of kildare are highlights of an album packed with highlights.Berts own Daybreak and One to a hundred are as evocative has anything he's ever written.Couple this with some great playing from bert and rod clements et al and you've got a very fine album indeed.Buy it and see why we still rave about him after over forty years of playing
GREAT ALBUM, 2009-07-07 I've always loved this album - my LP is scratched and tired and I must get round to buying this CD to replace it! Some gorgeous arrangements - not least the stunning 'Pretty Saro'. Can anyone out there tell me how this compares to L. A . Turnaround? If that one is only half as good as this I'll add it to my shopping list! Oh yes and 'Sunday Morning' has accompanied me and half a grapefruit on many Sunday mornings: excellent grounding for a dose of 'The Archers' and a stroll across fields...
