Treewind is quite correct, the Leader back catologe was bought by **********, and what was purchaced and still remains in his ownership is anybody's guess. A CD version of Billy Pigg's Border Minstrel is available from ********, although, beware, it is possibly a CDR and may not be a great player, or sound too good. How you feel about dealing with ******** is up to you. There are many in the folk world who are more than happy to continue to deal and trade with ***** and others who beleive him to be a blight on the face of the earth for "robbing artists" of their royalties. Himself or his record company are not the only ones to be accused or found guilty of this and on the subject of "robbing artists" and royalties, I wonder how many blank CDR discs were sold today?

You could always try e-BAY or Mudcat for a "new" old record, Billy Pigg was a ledgendry piper and this album is gem well worth searching out.
