I agree with all that has been said with regards to this subject.I have for the last nearly fout years trying to compile the Anglo,English and Duet Internationals, if only some of these old players had recorded their playing and music,all as now taken for granted.It is only when you try and put these historical collections together do you realise what has been lost to the future generations.Even now there are some wonderful players that have never been recorded.
The other major thing to remember is please put all the information on the tape or CD of the player.It has taken over eighteen months to track down the player of some fantastic playing of the Duet Concertina,it was only due to another recording of the identical tunes coming into my possesion, that had more details,that the mystery was, we think solved.
Other problems are the position of the mikes many were taken from the audience and there is too much backgound noise to use the recordings,these are only of interest.It is those people like "Breezy" who are doing the job properly that are successful and these recordings and Video's are going to be priceless in 100 years time.
