Thanks for all the help so far.

Liverpool central library/archives don't appear to have them (following catalogue searching and further enquiries) - which is a shame. And yes, they really should have them, so if anybody ever feels like donating their copies to the City of Liverpool...

I tried the VWML online catalogue, but as one is led to believe that this is incomplete, I will phone them up as Derek Schofield suggests.

I'm still hoping to find 'publicly accessible' copies, but if that fails, I will ask Hughie Jones as Les from Chorlton suggests. Gives me an excuse to go to the Everyman folk club again (not that I really need an excuse)

In the meantime, any other suggestions gratefully received!
