To red max: no, I'm not the guy tou sent a Frogmorton CDR to.
To curmudgeon: I had Lloyd's English Street Songs and English Drinking Songs in the list, but then I decided not to mention more than maximum three records for each artist, not to make the list too long. But yes, they are excellent recordings.
To chanteyranger: only recently I've had a copy of Thar she blows! Whaling ballads, by A. L. Lloyd and Ewan MacColl. I like it very very much, together with A Sailor's Garland (Prestige / International INT 13043, or Transatlantic XTRA 5013, 1966) and the Stinson recordings (Haul on the bowlin', vol.1, and Off to sea once more, vol.2), all by Ewan MacColl & A. L. Lloyd. But I've put in the list only Blow, Boys, Blow (Tradition) because of its availability. But I'm happy you mentioned the whaling ballads by LLoyd and MacColl. It is a pity that so many great recordings remain unavailable in CD format. Roberto
