Had copies of both his albums but think they may have been lost in the Goodwill bin in downsizing late last year. May try to find in local thrift store, or if Ergo still active, through their site.bobma117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520797415604880359.post-70673063133115585602011-03-13T10:38:43.370+01:002011-03-13T10:38:43.370+01:00Awesome awesome album. enough said.

The life he lived was one of no-frills and Much passion. The writeup in the blog , extracted from another online resource, is pretty accurate. He spent most of his adult life as revered Teacher (english) at a local High School. <BR/>I finally found his LP in this area in 2001, and then was in contact with Win till his passing. I still hang out with Roy MacDonald when I can at the local Chapters/Starbucks.... Roy still keeps the ERGO spirit alive, with Win's Wife and a handful of others. Along with the Nihlist spasm band, Win should be just as known...his lyrics are true passion and truth! I have had a few LP copies of this..and I downloaded this file..and comparing to the vinyl rips i made, this version available, is missing most of the bass, and is very thin and all trebly. Anyone know the source?? And the channels have been reversed. Just to let you all know..there is much better sound, if you get an original vinyl copy..($200.00) or just visit m' blog..i've had this available on my server for more than a few years now..and also ERGO still offers his two albums on CD. City Wilderness, his 2nd album..is just as great..some blue moments like Any direction, but some upbeat numbers, but all relevant to expanding your headspace. :D peas and rice!freQazoidiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608531474030069269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520797415604880359.post-59115201694387897302008-03-01T20:28:00.000+01:002008-03-01T20:28:00.000+01:00Man, thank you so much for this really great album...Man, thank you so much for this really great album.
