Stu Blagden - An Englishman in Rio (2014)

Parallel Realities Studio PRS CA 002

A re-post of Stu Blagden's album released by Parallel Realities Studio back in 2014. Great album which has just one problem associated with it: John Preiss who is playing 7 strings guitar alongside with Stu on side 2 has (can't imagine why) copyrighted one track and all re-uploads of this album have so far been sooner or later deleted by Depositfile's copyright check. So here is one more attempt to share it, hoping that dear John's copyright claim has expired in the meantime. Anyway, if you want to enjoy this release, act now, as tomorrow you might be confronted with the tasteless DOWNLOAD YESTERDAY advice instead of a working link.
