Thread Name: Origin: Ballad of Seth Davy / Whiskey on a Sunday
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Whiskey on a Sunday
According to the Scouse Press website copies of Liverpool Packet No.1 Liverpool Street Ballads, Broadsides and Sea Songs etc are still on sale for the very reasonable price of £2.45 plus postage.
Since Malcolm's copy was missing the text of Seth Davey with the illustration of the Bevington Bush street scene, I'm not sure whether the current edition includes this, but the Packet is still good value for money.
In the meantime I have emailed the Scouse Press to ask if the original lantern slide depicting Seth Davey is still in their possession. I'll report back here if and when I get a reply.
