| Recordings
and Songbook |
I've
divided this section into two sub-headings -Original CDs
and Compilation CDs. The original section is of course
all my original studio recordings, and the compilation section
contains those compilations subsequently made mainly out
of those original recordings, in a mostly vain attempt to
generate more income.
Because I have recorded for most of my musical career with
small independent labels, a lot of my recordings, especially
the older ones, are long out of manufacture, and are pretty
difficult to track down. At the end of this section we list
a number of links in which, if you are lucky, you may find
the title you are looking for. Where the CDs are generally
still available, I have shown the major suppliers that I
know of. I have not shown the year the CD was released,
who cares? However, mainly to satisfy those with a chronological
fetish, I have listed the CDs more or less in the order
I recorded them, the latest recording being top of the list
naturally, the one before that second, and so on.......
For those of you desperate to get a song that's on one of
the CDs that has long been deleted, don't despair, you
may find it in one of the later compilation CDs. Failing
that, probably your only remaining option is to steal one
from someone who has one.
Hover your mouse (or 'cursor' to be
more precise) over the CD image and you should see a list
of the tracks appear as if by magic!.
The lyrics for the songs can be found in the "Lyrics"
section of this site.

The Emigrant and The Exile
John Campbell Munro
Eric Bogle is a songwriter whose songs have been recorded by such as Joan Baez, The Pogues, The Fureys, June Tabor and many others. He is best known for songs such as, “And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda”, “The Green Fields of France”, “Now I’m Easy”, “Leaving Nancy” and hundreds of others which have touched the hearts or tickled the funny bones of many.
He was born in Peebles Scotland in 1944 and migrated to Australia in 1969. His songs have earned him the Order of Australia and the UN Peace Medal amongst many other accolades. Eric and I (as his accompanist) have travelled the world many times since joining forces in 1980 and Eric’s music is appreciated across North America, Europe and Australasia. Now it’s time to stop and reflect on the journey

At
This Stage
In 1984, John Munro, Brent Miller and
I released a "live" double LP of a concert we
did at the Octagon Theatre, Perth, and W.A. Over the intervening
years we have received a lot of enquiries if this double
set was available on CD. Well, now it is, plus 9 other "live"
tracks recorded in various places around the world since
then.
Available through: Undercover Music, Australia, and
the rest of the world through Greentrax Recordings, Scotland.

I
wrote This Wee Song
This was a double "live" CD I originally recorded
for The Australian Broadcasting Corporation of Australia.
Only noteworthy thing I remember about it was that I appeared
on stage with the most number of musicians ever (six!)

Eric
Bogle - Live in Person (L.P.)
Eric Bogle - Down Under (L.P.)
Eric Bogle - Pure (L.P.)
These were 3 LP's that were recorded during my first tour
of Germany in 1976
Only the first one on the list was authorised, the other
two are bootleg. Some of the songs were recorded "live",
the rest are obviously quite dead. If you ever come across
a copy of any of these L.P.s, melt it down and fashion an
ashtray out of it.

| To
summarise then, while my newer stuff is reasonably easy
to find, the older stuff will take a bit of cyber-sleuthing.
Ever helpful to my loyal fans, I list below some web-sites
where you may be able to find some of them. |
Songbook |
|
It's
not so much a songbook as a lyrics book with guitar chords,
no musical notation, which means you'll have to know the
songs to attempt to play them on your guitar. In the past
my songbooks have shown full musical notation, but most
amateur musicians I know can't read music, ( and a lot of
professional ones as well!), so this is book for the three-chord
guitar thumpers like me, and not those clever clogs who
can read music as easily as the rest of us can read a threatening
letter from our bank manager.
For those who yearn for a bit of musical notation however,
I came across a bloke in Canada during my recent tour who
has a hundred or so of one of my old songbooks, a bit of
an antique this one, very collectable. Contains about 20
of my earlier songs, including the "biggies",
"No Man's Land" " Matlida" etc., If
you are interested, drop him an e-mail for details, prices
etc. - dafoster@shaw.ca |
