Thread Name: Boarding Party CD from Folk Legacy
Subject: Boarding Party CD from Folk Legacy
For all of you shanty and sea song enthusiasts, Folk Legacy Records has just released a CD of The Boarding Party's 'Tis Our Sailing Time.
The Boarding Party is a most excellent shanty group that recorded in the 60's. If I am not mistaken, 'Tis Our Sailing Time is a re-issue in CD format of their first recording. In addition to great singing, these guys really researched their songs. Included with the CD is a 28-page booklet!
I have a copy of another recording they made called A Fair Wind and A Following Sea that is really superb.
