Subject: RE: Ewan MacColl - Bless 'em All From: Ferrara Date: 17 Sep 00 - 02:44 PM Ah, Karolina, thanks for the link. I have the album but haven't transcribed all the songs yet. (I love the album and have learned a few of the songs including Bless 'Em All and Browned Off) |
Subject: RE: Ewan MacColl - Bless 'em All From: dick greenhaus Date: 17 Sep 00 - 09:22 AM The album was British Army Songs. I don't think it's been re-released on LP, but I'll check. As I recall, it appeared under two record company labels: Washington and (I think) Riverside. |

When I was young I used to be
Sarah Conlan baked a cake,
Sergeant Healey went away
Cobra Sheen was a terrible lout, Amongst others, The Dubliners (vocal by Luke Kelly) did a version of it on one of their albums - possibly 'More of the Hard Stuff', which I've attempted to transcribe above. If anyone can clear up the infelicities, I'd be grateful! Lhiats, Bobby Bob |

Subject: Ewan MacColl - Bless 'em All From: Rana Date: 17 Sep 00 - 08:45 AM Hi, On CBC Radio's Fresh Air (a great program out of Toronto) they have a section where people write in about songs they have memories of. Some one was looking for a song on the above album which ended its chorus "...join the British Army" - does anyone know the album, recognise the song from the the brief clue (they gave a few more words but I can't remember 'em) or know the track list. I looked at All Music Guide which lists the LP as 195? but no other details. I look at this as an interesting Mudcat challenge and then can forward the info to Adrian Schuman @ CBC Cheers Rana |
