Hi, John - I wondered if we could compare Sing Out! reprints. I have the two "Collected Reprints" books. The pink book (out of print) has volumes 1-6, 1959-64 (covering songs published in the magazine 1950-63). The blue book (still in print) has volumes 7-12, 1964-73 (covering songs from the magazine, 1950-73). I'll give you a list of the starting and ending song in each volume, and I wonder if you could check and see if yours are the same:

• 1. (1959) This Land Is Your Land / Mighty Day
• 2. (1960) Pastures of Plenty / The Gallows Pole
• 3. (1961) Si Me Quieres Escribir / Duermete, Niño Lindo
• 4. (1962) Crawdad / Calton Weaver
• 5. (1963) He's Gone Away / Shady Grove
• 6. (1964) Guantanamera / We Shall Overcome
• 7. (1964) Lily of the West / We Shall Walk Through the Valley
• 8. (1965) Ramblin' Blues / I Wonder When I'll Get To Be Called A Man
• 9. (1966) Freedom Is A Constant Struggle / South Australia
• 10. (1967) Ain't You Got A Right / I Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound
• 11. (1968) Walking Down Death Row / The Little Orphan Girl
• 12. (1973) Aiken Drum / Can The Circle Be Unbroken(note gap in dates)

Were there more of the individual "Reprints" booklets, or just the twelve that were issued in the two "collected" volumes? Do the individual volumes appear to be the same as what I've listed here for the combined editions?
I note that Peter Blood-Patterson, editor of Sing Out!'s Rise Up Singing songbook, was also involved in the publication of both of the "Collected Reprints" volumes.
