Thread Name: Martin Carthy nursery rhymes
Subject: Martin Carthy nursery rhymes
Hi, I put a thread on here ages ago about good songs for kids. Thanks for all the info you all gave me. I was trying to find a decent recording of some traditional english nursery rhymes as I hate all the cheesy pop versions! I was in dr barnardos in Brixton today where there was this old fashioned car ride, you know the ones where you put money in the slot and it sways from side to side? There were these buttons that had nursery rhyme pictures and when you pressed them, played different songs. My one year old son loved it and insisted on having six goes! Anyway, I couldn't believe my ears when one of the songs...Jack and Jill was being sung by Martin carthy!! Did an internet search when I got home and found it was from a recording called 70 golden nursery rhymes which looks exactly what I'm looking for....folk artists singing many of the songs...but I can't find where to buy it. Any ideas? I'm sure its been deleted...but I would love to try and get hold of a copy!!
