GUEST,Dave Hatton	Hugill's bowdlerized versions (5)	Hugill's non-bowdlerized versions	12 Oct 20
As I read through Shanties of the Seven Seas, I can't help feeling that the majority of Hugill's more authentic versions of the shanties are probably lost for ever. It's clear from a look on here for the odd specific song that there are a few snippets of bawdy versions in existence, but did Stan keep record of the original versions of everything? I know he couldn't publish the mucky versions in a mainstream book, but does a treasury of what was likely actually sung exist? (And yes, I know that hundreds of different versions of everything will probably exist!)
