FROM THE PEN OF JOHN EDMOND
\nAlthough the Roan Antelope Music catalogue contains 30 or more cd\u2019s containing songs performed by John Edmond there are many more songs that have been hidden away in archives of record companies, embodied on old vinyl records and tucked away on tapes in the Roan Antelope store. There have been many enquiries about these recordings and with the help of archivists, John\u2019s family and record specialist collectors like Dr. Andre Korkie together with the co-operation of the Gallo record company, these recordings have been re-mastered and prepared for release.
\nThe first album to be released is one containing only John\u2019s compositions and will be entitled\u00a0“From the pen of \u2013 John Edmond”.\u00a0The tracks are varied showing John\u2019s versatility and make good listening. Sleeve notes are written by Grant Edmond and synopses by John of how, when and why the songs were written are also included.
\nThis is indeed a collector\u2019s item containing\u00a016 great songs\u00a0of adventure, love, humour and patriotism in country, orchestral and pop styles.

BORN IN AFRICA
\nWhat a priviledge to have been born in Africa! To have grown up with her unsurpassed flora and fauna her unique peoples and cultures and to have been influenced by her rich musical heritage.
