The 14 TRACK LISTING (with notes) is;

SIDE 1.

DAVE BURLAND - The Duke of Gordon's Daughter  
Child ballad No. 237 and the only love ballad
with a happy ending that Dave Burland sings.

JUNE TABOR - Bushes and Briars
The words are those printed from The Seeds Of Love and the tune - used
in the film Far From The Madding Crowd - was collected by Cecil Sharp.

NIC JONES - The Bonnie Banks Of Fordie
The text is collated from verses in Child, and the tune is inspired
by one in Dean Christie's Traditional Ballad Airs for 'The Laird
of Drum.'

PETER BELLAMY - Peggy Brawn
An obviously Irish tune collected in Norfolk by Peter Bellamy from
the singing of Walter Pardon; how it got there is anyone's guess.
Words and music were published in Folk Review, August 1974,
and are copyright by Walter Pardon

ENGLISH TAPESTRY - Valentine Chant
Collected by Fred Hamer  and published in Green Groves.
The arrangement is by Brian Brittain.

VIN GARBUTT  -  Boulavogue
Sometimes known as 'Father Murphy's Lament', the song concerns
the sequel to the 1798 rebellion in County Wexford, when Father Murphy
led the Republican forces against the Crown. He was
afterwards captured, excommunicated and executed.

ROSEMARY HARDMAN - Latin Lady
One of Rosemary Hardman's most popular songs, written for
Vin Garbutt as an imaginative commemoration of his days
in Gibralter.

SIDE 2.

NIC JONES - The Warlike Lads of Russia
The words are from a broadside in the Harkness Colection at
Preston; and the tune is collated from various traditional sources
with contributions from Nic Jones.

PETER BELLAMY - The Whale Catchers
Taken from the version published in The Penguin Book Of English
Folk Songs, originally collected in 1900 by Percy Merrick from the
singing of Henry Mills of Lodsworth, Sussex.

DAVE BURLAND - George Collins
Learned from the singing of Terry Whelans of the Critics.

ROSEMARY  HARDMAN - Spare Rib Rag
Rosemary Hardman's answer to Women's Lib - and
one of her end-of-evening specialties.



I am in the process of selling a few rare and unusual records, some in MINT but most in the EX or VERY GOOD PLUS range of condition.

I try to grade records as accurately and as fairly as I can, as I have found that things I have bought on eBay have mostly been described pretty well, with only a couple in over nearly two-hundred transactions being not quite as described - but near enough for me not to complain!

MINT (M) -  Sealed and/or obviously unplayed. Perfect condition.

NEAR MINT (NM) -  Vinyl in new condition, record may have been played once or twice.
The cover may have very, very slight wear and/or creasing.

EXCELLENT. (EX) - The record shows evidence of being played with a few light surface marks or scuffs. the cover posssibly has slight general wear.

VERY GOOD (VG) - The record shows signs of being played a lot with a few light scuffs,  scratches and subject to normal wear and tear.

GOOD - Plays reasonably well but has lots of scuffing/scratching that may be distracting. The cover shows lots of wear with creasing, tears and splits.
