Linval Thompson/Johnny Osbourne lost LP

[Jason Allen]

I am a huge fan of Nightfall Showcase. I believe that the collaboration of Thompson and Johnny Osbourne provided us with a timeless LP.
Anyhow, I read the article Carter Van Pelt did with Linval a while back. It stated that he had a whole LP worth of Osbourne's material that he was going to try to get released. It sounded like it was probably recorded around the time of Nightfall Showcase. Linval himself described it as "great" and "powerful".
I waited patiently for these tracks to show up on Thompson's download site but they never did.
I've often thought that RA's forum could be used to get people who love this music together to get material released. This might be a worthy attempt. Thompson wants to release this material and was planning to. A little urging might just help it along.
So, would any RA members consider dropping him a line on his myspace page to let him know if you are interested. It just might work. I'd hate to think that these tracks could go unheard and considering the quality of their previous material, I think it would be great if Linval knew that people are interested and it would be worth it to release the tracks.

I think most of these myspace pages/accounts are fake, good idea though!

Anyone know if this is the correct and current e-mail?

in an interview found on the Links page, Linval talks about this sets and others he has waiting to be released from many artists. it would be awesome to hear some "new" old tunes...

[Jason Allen]

Those are the tracks I am hoping for. He says that they have never been released before except for a few limited singles taken from what could become an album. He goes on to say that he has a lot of Sammy Dread and Wayne Wade tracks that have never been put out as well.
I'd love to hear these tracks. My hope would be that he could get a deal like Ijahman with someone who wants to release his whole catalogue.

it would be a great move to release such a project.
