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: http://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=121396
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?
