Earth Apples - Old & New Potatoes(Private release BP007)

Released March 2008.

This is quite a collection of Bernie's songs old, new and relatively new. The older songs, rerecorded for this CD, never made it to albums because there were too many songs and not enough recording space. The newer ones are just new. And here they are. More to come.

Recorded at Bernie's Stonyrock Studio, Stonyrock, Leeds 2007 & 2008.

Songs From Stony Rock (Private Release BP005)

Bernie Produced and Engineered the whole thing. Bernie Designed the CD graphics, printed all the inlays, reproduced the CDs, cut out all the middlemen.
