Description

The Extremely Rare Cornish Folk album "More Singing at the Count House" was recorded on 11 November 1965. Just 99 copies privately pressed and produced and distributed by The Count House Folk Music Club, Botallack, St Just, Cornwall. This was a "live" recording . The artists were Brenda Wootton, John the Fish, Des Hannigan and Mel & Miles. The club started in June 1964.

The songs on the album .....

Side 1
  • Green Eyes - John

  • Johnny I hardly knew ye - Des

  • Fan me soldier man - Mel & Miles

  • Lamorna - Brenda & John

  • Nobody knows you - John

  • Careless love - Brenda & John

  • Haul 'em away - Mel

  • 100 years ago - Mel

  • Wild mountain thyme - Des & John

Side 2

  • There ain't no more cane - John

  • The flowers of spring - Des

  • Two brothers - Brenda & John

  • I wish I was a rock - John

  • Mrs McGrath - Des

  • Derby ram - Mel & Miles

  • Harp song - Brenda & John

  • Old time religion - John & all

THIS RECORD IS IN FINE CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE. GOOD GLOSSY SHEEN AND JUST A COUPLE OF REALLY LIGHT HAIRLINE MARKS, NOT VERY BIG AND HARDLY NOTICABLE. THE LABEL IS EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN AND THE RECORD BARELY PLAYED.

THE COVER IS PRETTY GOOD, JUST SLIGHT CREASING OF LAMINATE ON OPENING EDGE.

THIS RECORD IS NOW A HIGHLY COLLECTABLE FOLK ARTIFACT AND EXTREMELY RARE. COPIES NEVER TURN UP EVEN HERE IN CORNWALL.
