Subject: RE: Free Rare Old Folk Album Downloads
Getting back to "Voice of the People" being available on e-music, a downside to e-music is that you pay per song, not per album. Thus, to buy the full set of 484 tracks at 20p costs £96.80, whereas to buy the 20CDs, which also includes the booklets, cost £137.70. The fact that the CDs have 20 to 25 tracks each accounts for this.
Ann Lister might be interested to know that Fellside are also selling their back catalogue on e-music, and so far have about 36 albums. It would be interesting if Ann were to ask Fellside to but "Burnt Feathers", a Fellside recording,up for sale in this way and let us all know how well it sells and what the deal is.
People like myself who use e-music make a monthly subscription for 50 downloads per month, so I I tend to browse under Labels such as Topic, Fellside, etc. known for folk music. If "Burnt Feathers" was there, I, like others, may have bought it.
