I don't have the box set, but The English & Scottish Popular Ballads (The Child Ballads), sung by Ewan MacColl and A.L. Lloyd, edited & produced by Kenneth S. Goldstein, 9 vols. seems to be the one. I've heard this was released in 1950s by Riverside, and later by Washington (WLP 715-723). English and Scottish Folk Ballads (Topic 12 T103) may be an abridged one-LP edition.

As I recall, Ewan died before he finished. He wanted to record all the Child that had known tunes. My friend Judith has what he recorded.......would you settle for pirated cassette tapes?

Thirty or forty years ago Ewan MacColl and A.L. Lloyd issued a boxed set of 33 1/3 records on which they sang many Child ballads a capella. I'd like very much to locate one of these sets, and would pay a price to be agreed upon for one in good condition, or for a digital version.
