We get a lot of questions asking about whether certain albums or songs are available (mostly often 'The Fivepenny Piece Live') - and if not, where or when will they be made available. The answer is - everything that is available is listed on the The Fivepenny Piece website, and sold in the The Fivepenny Piece online shop. Anything else is unavailable, and at the moment there are no plans for their release. As soon as this changes, we WILL announce it! So, if you are trying to find a CD re-issue of that old vinyl favourite, then I'm afraid that it was never re-issued And if you want to hassle EMI (who own most of the publishing rights) to re-issue it - feel free, but be aware that we have already tried!

'A Special Child' - The Album! released 23rd September 2008'A Special Child' is a brand new collection of festive songs from founder Fivepenny Piece members John Meeks and Lynda Meeks. The album is due for release on Tuesday 23rd September. Last year, The Fivepenny Piece released a Christmas single. 'A Special Child' was a previously unreleased song with Lynda singing. Although the song is about 25 years old and was sung at Christmas concerts over the years, but had never been recorded until September 2007. It was never meant as a commercial release and was only available through the video sharing website YouTube. The song nevertheless received a good deal of positive feedback; and demand from fans for a 'proper' release - and more of the same! So here we have it. Starting with 'A Special Child' (the song - and the title!), John and Lynda have put together a complete Christmas album for 2008 containing some of their favourite Christmas songs - and a few Fivepenny Piece classics, all performed in the Fivepenny Piece style. The track listing is A Special Child / Lord Of The Dance / The Gift Of Love / Away In A Manger / Mary's Boy Child / If I Were A Carpenter / Silent Night / A Great Deal Of Difference / Onward Onward Soldier / While Children Sleep / Scarlet Ribbons / Paint A Perfect Christmas. You can hear short samples of the tracks A Special Child and Paint A Perfect Christmas, downloadable from the Fivepenny Piece website in MP3 format; alternatively, go to the Fivepenny Piece MySpace page at www.myspace.com/thefivepennypiece to hear A Special Child: You can order your copy of A Special Child available now at £8.99 +P&P from the 5PP corner shop.
