Subject: RE: Alan Lomax & the Ramblers
Just received this double CD via Caiman/Florida/USA.
Indeed, that's a highly recommendable compilation of british skiffle without any weak songs/groups. Many thanks to Smith&Co. and especially to Dave Travis responsible for compilation.
Obviously, it needed a company from the Netherlands to make this cheapo (around 8-9 Euro) available which is of splendid technical quality.

Gives back many memories: Lonnie, Ken, Dick, City Ramblers and some others of which I was not aware. Although I do own Lonnie's "Pye in the Sky" (Bear Family) there are some tracks of Lonnie (or Dick Bishop) which are not included in this anthology.

Would like to recommend this double CD to all skiffle fans. By the way- to avoid misunderstandings-without any commercial interest.
