For clarification, since fome folks have aked:

    CAMSCO, for the past few years, has gradually been re-releasing Folktrax CDs in the US. This is not a bootleg operation--it was undertaken by agreement with Peter Kennedy, and is continuing working with the volunteer group that's handling Folktrax in the UK.
    The CDs are really repackaged, rather than re-released. The idea was that, although the music was wonderful, the form in which it was presented was off-putting to the American customer--Kennedy's CDs were hand labeled with a making pen, supplied in a grey paper envelope identified only by a number and accompanied by notes (often extremely good notes) that appeard to be Xeroxes of Xeroxes of the ouput of a 9-pin dot-matrix printer, 1980 vintage. CAMSCO is providing jewel cases, cover and tray art, properly printed discs and legible notes. The music is not remastered, edited nor modified. The notes may be re-arranged to meet space requirements, and have present tense statement modified to reflect the fact that they tend to be 30 or 40 years old, but are otherwise intact. CAMSCO is selling these CDs for $18.
    The purpose, of course, is to make more good traditional music available. The commercial benefit of this project to CAMSCO is nil. The degree of satisfaction in being able to make the music of artists the likes Sarah Makem, Bob Roberts, Paddy Tunney and a host of others, as well as the historically important (if acoustically dreadful) original recordings of people like Yankee John Galusha, Lena Bourne Fish, and sea songs collected by James Madison Carpenter is inestimable.
