Hopefully in the next few months, the Helen Creighton Folklore Society will be offering a 2 CD-set of actual field recordings. The recording has the working title, Sea Songs Project. It's going to have about 28-30 tracks taken from the original recordings Helen Creigton made with her informants. They've been cleaned up, ie snap/crackle/pop, but otherwise untouched. Included in the booklet is going to be lyrics, and a small amount of information on whom she gathered the song from.

The aim is to be finished by August/September (just in time for Christmas, right?). We haven't set a price yet. Watch for an announcement when available here at the Mudcat. For a bit about the Sea Song Project, go the the site below, and click on Sea Song Project:
