GUEST,Litto Folk Producer Bill Leader - Discography (21) Bill Leader Discography Update 03 Mar 13


Just to say that the Bill Leader Discography - http://www.dyversemusic.com/2013/01/bill-leader-discography.html - is expanded and now (almost) fully illustrated. Alas, recent evidence would suggest that Anne Briggs' Hazards of Love EP has no place ("recording supervised by Paul Carter" it says on the sleeve), but then there are records where Bill played a significant role in the session and didn't receive a credit (a few by the Ian Campbell Group, The Tinkers' Carrickfergus, where respectively Nat Joseph and Roy Guest enjoy producer credit), and others which are definite misattributions (like the trio of sea-song EPs from '63: Blow the Man Down/100 Years Ago/The Coast of Peru). Curiosities are coming to light, like Bob Pegg's lone 45 The Werewolf of Old Chapeltown from '78, and, more bizarrely, a 45 from 1981 by a choir of Leeds Midwives singing a festive song about Jesus. The most midwives Bill had ever seen in one place, says Bill, with no babies.

If Mudcatters know of any omissions, or can identify errors, it's still a work in progress. Mike
