Subject: RE: Origins: The Sailor Likes His Bottle
A recording of the song (the earliest commercial recording, I suppose -- there is a Carpenter field recording) was made based on Terry's arrangement:

1928 HMV B2381 John Goss and the Cathedral Male-Voice Quartet.

"The Sailor likes his bottle O" (with "Whisky Johnny" "Clear the track, let the bullgine run." "Sally Brown" "Hanging Johnny").
