"Those accompaniments were dubbed in afterwards without Jeannie's consent"
I never heard that Vic and I'm not sure it's true.
I think I have a letter from Robin Hall in one of the old Folk magazines explaining and attempting to justify it in response to the flak he had evoked.
Nice Isabel story.
The Kennedy recordings I'm referring to, as I'm sure you know, are the FSB cassette series, where he dubbed accompaniments and choruses, speeded -up, slowed down, put in re-verb.... on the field recordings he had done for the Beeb - Johnny Dohery singing 'Rocking the Cradle' to a bad fiddle accompaniment, for crying out loud!
