    Does anybody have more information on existing recordings from Paul Cleary and The Partisans? We are trying to catalog their recording with the aim to have them released digitally (especially unreleased recordings)? See https://www.musicfadein.com/paul-cleary-the-partisans for current status. Any further information or contacts appreciated.
