Thread Name: Penguin Book of English Folk Songs
Subject: RE: Penguin Book of English Folk Songs
The point is that EFDSS owns the rights to the material in the PBEFS. It does not own the rights to any other "Penguin" song anthologies. However, it may well be that healthy sales for the re-issue might encourage those who do own the various rights (whoever they are) to consider re-publication in their own behalves. It's also the case that healthy sales of both this re-issue and of the forthcoming selection from Cecil Sharp's collections (due for release in August) may result in the publication of further material from the archives. If an economically viable demand can be demonstrated, the will is there.
