That old album of mine ‘Galleon’ is now available on itunes . https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/galleon/id1093600251
I still find it a bit hard to listen to , It’s a bit too honest if you know what i mean. Rich .

I still rate it in my top 5 albums of all time……… sure thats a big call – but it’s so gut wrenchingly honest and lyrically fantastic

It is a truly fantastic album with beautiful honesty. I love how you echo the motions of a relationship so well – beautifully captured in the arc of relationships that you sum up in a single song – ‘Why Can’t You Love Me’. I have been listening to this album ever since it came out in 1991 (I remember when I bought it, it came with bonus photo cards) and never cease to be amazed at this song and album.
I was disappointed it did not get the success it deserved – a bit like Mark Lizotte’s first self named solo album – Soul Lost Companion. Both sadly overlooked.
Enjoy all of your work. BCO was definitely the poorer for your departure (and hope the tinnitus is under control).
