Subject: Ballad of Joh Axon; Transcription From: Fred McCormick Date: 09 Apr 08 - 04:27 AM About 1965 or 66 a folk magazine published a transcription of the Ballad of John Axon. It might have gone over two issues and might have been published to coincide with the release of Axon on Argo Records. Can anybody remember what the magazine was called and which edition it was in? Many thanks. |

Subject: RE: Ballad of John Axon; Transcription From: Joe Offer Date: 10 Apr 08 - 01:40 AM Hi, Fred - Bob Bolton posted a lengthy transcription in this thread. As in many of the Radio Ballads, you're never quite certain that they perform the whole song in the radio program, and you're left wondering if you missed part of it. -Joe- |
Subject: RE: Ballad of John Axon; Transcription From: John MacKenzie Date: 10 Apr 08 - 02:42 AM I have a tape of this, that I made from the radio programme. Somewhere in the clutter that is my tape collection :) G |
Subject: RE: Ballad of John Axon; Transcription From: Fred McCormick Date: 10 Apr 08 - 04:47 AM Thanks fellas but I'm to determine thye name of the magazine which published the transcription of the entire programme, not the programme itself. I already have a recording of that. |
Subject: RE: Ballad of John Axon; Transcription From: The Borchester Echo Date: 10 Apr 08 - 04:55 AM I assume you are not including me in the "fellas". The Charles Parker Archive (situated on the 7th floor of Birmingham City Library) will presumably have a copy of the mag. There's a link to the "Friends of Charles Parker" in the site linked to above. As they say archiving is almost complete, I imagine someone will know the answer to your question. |
Subject: RE: Ballad of John Axon; Transcription From: Fred McCormick Date: 10 Apr 08 - 06:06 AM Diane, I've already checked. They haven't. |

Subject: RE: Ballad of John Axon; Transcription From: GUEST,Peter Cox Date: 22 May 08 - 01:22 PM Just catching up on some of the Radio Ballad stuff I've missed while writing the Radio Ballad book. By the end of May I shall have every one of the 8 programmes' transcriptions on the www.setintosong.co.uk website. That's as on the Topic CDs - The Ballad of John Axon was actually broadcast as a 45-min cut-down programme originally. Peter. |
