Thread Name: Peter Kennedy FSOB&I recordings
Subject: RE: Peter Kennedy FSOB&I recordings
I've been woring in fits and starts on creating a file of full versions of the songs that were edited for the albums (which was nearly all)
One of the things I found out was everything that was claimed to have been collected on behalf of the BBC didn't 'make it back to base'
A local friend whose father, Grandmother, grand uncle and several aunts and uncles were major contributors to the BBC project told me that some of the songs and music given to Kennedy which is recorded in family documents do not appear in the index and have been lost to the country and the family
The albums themselves incude material that is not available elsewhere
I know this to be the case with English material

When/if I ever get round to finishing it, anybody who wants an unedited set is welcome to one

I have already digitised the present set and edited both the Caedmon and Topic notes into one file
Due to its chequered history, I have no qualms in offering it to whover wants it
