I think the timing clash is accidental, as Fred Freeman started recording and releasing this series in 1996. The last volume came out at the end of last year, and the set is now released in a box.
What I would like to see is a book of Fred's settings with notes.

Eddi's album is linked to her performance at a Burns Festival in Ayrshire earlier this year. I remember her performing in the folk clubs around Ayrshire in the late 70s and early 80's along with Dave Dick as Pigmeat, singing blues and folk. (She was Edwena then).
Folk songs,(including Burns),even turned up as bonus tracks on the Fairground Attraction 12" singles.
