thanks to all contributions.
there was a gap between my original thread and my recent addition.
in the meantime the wonders of youtube have meant i have versions of
1.the old miser
2the oyster girl
3london waterman (but with complaetely different lyrics to the bellamy version in mudcat)
4.bedlam boys

from the contributions made some are obviously more helpful than others. i no longer have a record player so all references to song on lp's is redundant for me
i suppose the best reference is anything that can be accessed via the net.youtube is superb in this respect
