So you worked for Original Music? Anyway, my comment should have read "his stock of CDs", not the company's. The "misinformation" apparently comes from a friend of his who later bought many of these JSR's personal stock, so who knows... and really, it doesn't matter. Good to hear that Chege is selling his CDs and I hope some Benn loxo readers like his music enough to grab a few! Interesting. So you worked for Original Music?

So it's not as if someone found a box in the trash somewhere and is pretending to be him. So maybe your "informant" has a bit of misinformation....

A Benn loxo listener told me recently that when Original Music went bankrupt a while back, John Storm Roberts trashed stock CDs. He only later realized that he could probably sell them, and found a box of Sam Chege CDs that now pop-up once and a while online. “New” is stretching it.
