Hey folks, only me - Chuntao. And I am back with an exuberantly lavish mega-rare self-titled album by UK hard blues/ R&B band "Halfbreed". The singer Mick Whittaker is phenomenal and draws inspiration from funk and soul. This beauty was sent to me by an avid reader Gumby, who appreciates some of the rarities that I post and the work in maintaining this blog. So I thank you Gumby, my friend, and look forward in hearing what the rest of my readers think of this great album. I just love it.
I would also like to thank Alexis for keeping the faith and having a great taste in music and would like to wish Roddus a Happy Birthday. I think he is 33 (rpm) - get it. Well he isn't 45 (rpm) coz he ain't single. He has just started his own blog, which will talk of his music obsession, Tramping and various other ramblings. Wish him luck.
So without further ado, grab "Halfbreed" here FIRST, well it has never been posted ever on the whole internet.

Cool thanks. And thanks for a great blog too.
Happy holidays and best wishes for next year to you and your people. Hope everything is ok with you, Chuntao.
BTW, is Gumby the one from FinnArtic? If so, tell him I miss his blog :( Has he begun a new one? I'd like to know.
Thanks again for everything.
Yep, that's me. After what happened with FinnArctic I'm afraid I have no motivation left for blogging. Besides, I have so many other ambitions I want to concentrate on. But I'll hang around and check out what others post on the net, and display my record collection at RateYourMusic as Gumbyfinn.
Check out my first Roddus Review of this album on http://roddus.blogspot.com/2009/12/halfbreed-halfbreed-uk-1975.html
Cheers.
Roddus may be 16, if he's into talking, or perhaps 78. Who knows, is he that fast?
Wonder if he'll cover those other three listed interests of his, as well.
The late, great Frank Zappa once said something about rock journalism. I wonder what he´d say today.
Hi my friend, greetings;

Hi nelwizard,
Thanks for taking some time out from your busy schedule over at PNF and commenting on this cool album. I am very pleased you liked it also.
Thank you nelwizard and may all your Christams dreams come true.
Take care and stop by soon
Chuntao
Hey Leo, Happy new year, glad to see ya still with us. Just got back from my very short holiday, will post about it with my blog soon.I hope you have visited my blog, leo, and you will see that so far I have covered those things i said, I guess it will all come down to how busy this year turns out as to how much i will get to post when work resumes.
With my sad writing skills, I could safley say that I am as far from being a journalist as I am from being Pope. I wouldn't want to upset Frank.
Cheers
Roddus
Hiya C n' R, of course I'm still with you. I enjoy the tone and feel here, kind of a home away from home. The long hiatus was frustrating and worried me quite a bit. But now you're back, and all's well with the world...or is it?
Been to your blog R, and I really enjoy the tramping posts/pics. Always bring your best camera, ok?
Funnily enough, you're the only one interested in "tramping/hiking".
I'm interested in this album since I've read Roddus Review of it. Thanks for share.
I don't know about all's well in the world Leo, but I too was a little apprensive when Chuntao stopped posting for such a long time, withdrawal started to set in and I had to get my fix (heaven forbid) at other blogs!!!
Glad you like my tramping photos, I always take my best camera, but still no that good at using it and my photography skills leave a bit to be desired.
tramping in a pretty big passtime here in NZ, there are several clubs in Christchurch alone, as well as the independant hikers, and we get plenty of tourists coming here to experience the grandour of our wilderness.
I have a sort of musical project in fermentation for my blog soon to keep all the music fans that pop over from here to have a look, hopefully interested. Stayed tuned.
Hey Anon, thanks for reading my review, I certaintly want to inspire people to check out music by writing these so well done, let me know what you think when you have heard it.
thanks mate, once more for another unknown (to me) jewel. very cool
sound/vocals. cheers rustythehusky
Thanks rustythehusky,
It's Gumby you need to thank on this one. Posting it is the easy part when you have knowlegable readers that send you gr8 stuff and then knowledable readers who have the best requests. That makes my job alot more simples (like the meercat advert) ;)
C.
thanks gumby for sharing the halbreed album with all of us. take
care & ciao. rustythehusky
Thanks for the post,
I am from Serbia, and I have the vinyl from this album.
Mick is fantastic singer, the the best ever.
They deserve much more
I bought this album on vinyl for 50p in London way back. Just love it! and my son too, aparantly. He got me this link. Ab fab!
