Celtic Music don't own the original recordings - they were licensed by Bill for the Brigg Fair album. It would be entirely possible to license them again and to put out a similar but different album.

At the time, the album didn't sell enough to be commercially viable, as was the case with most of the Leader 4000 series. When the series were remaindered, I bought scores of copies for 50 pence and Ken Wood and I (Festival Records) sold them on at festivals for the next few years - and it took years for them to shift.

Maybe a present day re-issue would sell, I don't know. As it is, you can buy the tracks that appear on the Voice of the People CDs as downloads on iTunes.
