Blood & Roses
Blood & Roses 5 CD Set
(Re-issued 2006 CAMSCO Music)
Traditional Ballads from England, Scotland and the USA sung by Peggy Seeger and Ewan MacColl. Copyright 1979 Blackthorne Records. Note: The CD-sets come with copies of the inserts that accompanied the original vinyl LPs. This documentation is in pdf, a form that most, if not all, current-day computers can display, and when printed, the result looks very close to the original inserts. PDF files cannot be searched for occurrences of texts. The individual ballad texts cannot be singled out to be displayed on a computer. At http://71.174.62.16/Demo/Ballads, a website has been put up that makes the texts of these ballads more accessible. The texts of the ballads from both sets of disks, as well as the descriptions of the ballads can all be found there. |
