The ABC web page about that radio documentary is indeed useful -- thank you. But what I want is a more or less complete list of releases on the Wattle label. Even better would be a list of releases with track lists for all the LPs. It appears that Wattle licensed some titles from some foreign labels, but I don't know the details. When I have the time, I will send a query to the National Library of Australia. Wattle issued several LPs by people who were closely identified with Topic Records in England (Ewan MacColl, Bert Lloyd, John Cole, Peggy Seeger and maybe some others). I would like to learn if those were recorded specifically for Wattle, or if they were licensed from Topic.
