Thread Name: Lloyd & MacColl's Sea Song LPs
Subject: RE: Lloyd & MacColl's Sea Song LPs
Batch #5, but I've not said much, because I have not heard most of these. So I am not able to say how this fit in to the development of these performers and their repertoire.


5. A Sailor's Garland (1962)

Haul Away for Rosie
MacColl.
*I have yet to hear this. If it is the same as the revival version, then it mines a lot of verses from Hugill SfSS but has a melody and chorus that I've not seen published, though with similarity to what's in Sharp (1914).

Tom's Gone to Hilo
MacColl.
*I have yet to hear this.

Sally Brown
Lloyd.
*Not sure if I've heard this. Note: He would seem to have done a different rendition on later album, "Sea Shanties"

Hilo Somebody
Lloyd.
*I have yet to hear this. don't have it. Probably based in Terry, maybe Hugill.

Little Sally Racket
This time led by MacColl.
*I have yet to hear this.

Gal with the Blue Dress On
Lloyd.
*I have yet to hear this. I'm guessing it follows Hugill, thought might be based in Slade's performance (?)

Bring 'em Down
Lloyd.
Evidently adapted from Jekyl's collection of Jamaican songs. See here:

Hilo John Brown
MacColl.
*I have yet to hear this. If this is the same rendition as Lloyd does on a later album, it is based in Terry.

General Taylor
Lead by Lloyd.
*I have yet to hear this. Options for a source are Sharp or Hugill.

Bold Riley O
Lloyd.
Source? Is it partly made-up?

Other songs:
The Sailor's Alphabet
Nancy of Yarmouth
The Dockyard Gate
The Dolphin
The Trim-Rig Ducksie
The Leaving of Liverpool
Short Jacket and White Trousers
