I found this thread when I was checking the words to 'Andrew Rose.' I have the Topic EP mentioned by Guest Les/ManchesterUK. It's TOP 27 and is by Stan Kelly and called 'Liverpool Packet.' It was issued in 1958. The songs on it are:

Maggy May
Lowlands Away
Way Haul Away
Sailor Cut Down in his Prime
Andrew Rose
Hullabaloo Belay.

Leon Rosselson is on guitar, accordeon and banjo, and Geoff Rose is on accordeon and banjo.

The record with Blood Red Roses on it (and Harry H Corbett singing Blow the Man DOwn)is Topic T7, and is an 8" LP entitled Row Bullies, Row. I still have it!
