We moved to Brightlingsea from Dublin in 1966 when I was 13, and I remember being really baffled by the speech of some of our new neighbours, but after a while it did grow on me though I never learned to speak it. Anyway I see the CD is now on sale again as Essex Voices at £9.99 so I shall be ordering my copy. Thanks to Virginia Tam for publicising it here on Mudcat.
