Subject: Let's Talk Bellamy
As some of you know, I am working with Ken Schatz, Heather Wood and several other folk artists in the NY area to put together a staged reading/theatrical performance piece based on Rudyard Kipling's Puck of Pook's Hill and Rewards and Fairies. Many of the songs and poems from these books were set to music by Peter Bellamy and recorded in the 1980s. I have found all but one of these recordings, and I am hoping you all may be able to help me to find it.

Mr. Kipling Made Exceedingly Good Songs seems to be the phantom recording of the century, I have checked into Dambuster Records- the label on which it was recorded- The Young Tradition, and with John Roberts and Tony Barrand. What am I not thinking of? Where might I find a copy of this recording?

If anyone has this recording, I would be more than happy to send cassettes and postage if you would be kind enough to make me a copy. Three of the songs on this recording will make a wonderful difference on how this whole peice comes together. So thank you in advance for your efforts on behalf of Ken and myself.
