SPB, that is great to hear. So the (A) version, from what I can tell was released in 1989, and (B) in 1996.
Since the recordings aren't readily available in all parts -- though I do understand they have very extensive accompanying notes-- could you say a word about how you guys learned these? Were they based on Hugill's book (which I have had to do), or did you also have available a recording by Hugill, Hugill's own advice, or the performances by other shantymen? thanks
