Robben's first album is always said to be Inside Story but I'm sure we've all seen the others like Schizophonic, Sunrise, and Discovering the Blues on the Avenue Jazz label.
Does anyone know why those three are never discussed or acknowledged by Robben? _________________ "Somebody's got to make some music around here." - Robben Ford

Hey JC!
I searched this forum and the only info I found (from many years ago), states that Robben does not profit from those sales and does not appeciate it when fans ask him to autograph those cds.
It would seem the relationship (if their was one), soured.

Hey, Paul, I'd heard something like that too. But I got the impression that they never had a relationship actually. Avenue got those recordings somehow and started selling them against Robben's wishes.
I was hoping to get some details so I asked The Google and couldn't find anything. If you come across anything about it, let me know.
Thanks!
