Thread Name: Lyr Req: Scottish Battle Ballads
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Scottish Battle Ballads
Alastair, as I posted already, formed his own company years after I disposed of NEVIS and issued CDs with similar titles to the original Nevis LPs as in Through Scotland in Song (NEVIS Scotland in Song) and the above posted by Jim Dixon after the original Scottish Battle Ballads. A lot of the songs are the same although he has changed a couple of titles, but the titles posted above are a mixture from the original Scottish Battle Ballads, the Robert Burns album I did with him over 30 years ago and the Bonnie Prince Charlie LP also on Nevis. I haven't heard The Man in Peterhead but I suspect it is a reworked title of the John MacLean song I recorded with Alastair on a NEVIS LP called Scotland First (1970). I recognise some titles as having been written by me but changing titles makes it difficult to recognise originals. The PRS and MCPS sometimes pick up the changes but not always. For those who do not have the NEVIS LPs, the Corban CD looks a good buy.
