Mick's Record Label & Todd Smallwood

[chriskisn]

Ok so I don't know if we know this or not but I didn't...

Was just talking to Todd Smallwood via email, asking him when/where this solo album of his is (American Dream, supposedly out a few years ago).

His response was:

I got waylayed after doing a record with Mick Fleetwood when his label went chap 7 and took me down with it. Been waiting to get my new label going and no borders records is about ready to rock.

I'm in the final mix stage on the record and I'll keep ya posted if you stay in touch!
Really appreciate it.

For the non Americans 'chap 7' refers to Chapter 7, the bankcruptcy laws (I had to google that bit myself).

Now Something Big was released on Tallman Records to my knowledge which was Mick's own label.

Yet another unsuccessful venture for Mr Fleetwood?

Yes it was. Mick did a Q&A type thing with BBC which was streamed online before the release of Say You Will (I think it was mainly to shoot down rumors which had circulated at the time that Sheryl Crow was joining FM, as a member) and he said Tallulah Bardens recorded an album which was to be the first release on Tallman Records and as far as I know it never saw the light of day.

Please do post here if you ever hear about Smallwood's album ever coming out though.

So Smallwood was on Tall Man records? Too bad it tanked him.

I remember when he first started getting into this Tallman Records thing it was announced that I'm Not Me and The Visitor were possibly going to get released on CD. I've only got bootleg copies of both (though I did have The Visitor on vinyl for a while but no way to play it) so it would have been good to get them re-released. Sadly, like Smallwood's album it didn't happen.
