Hello all,

I am looking for a copy of the Watersons box set 'Mighty River of Song' which was released on Topic in 2004. It seems to be somewhat difficult to track down.

Many thanks for any info.

Wow £100 I seem to remember paying around £40 for it some years ago.

My favourite part of the package was the DVD copy of an ancient B&W video of the group in their early days! Must dig it out again.

Regards

Gee, I paid $51.98 US for it in 2004. I guess THAT was a good investment....

Many thanks for the link to 'Travelling for a Living', LFF.

I have most of the tracks in the collection on other releases, but apart from the odd YouTube clip, I haven't seen the documentary for ages.

Much appreciated!

I have a used, but in reasonably good condition copy and will post to anywhere reasonable for the cost of postage. I bought new and played it probably 10 times max.

I want £120 plus the postage cost.

You can email me directly on: [e-mail]

Feel free to ask any questions and I can photograph the box & contents without any problem.

If it is so scarce why not go to the Waterson website and suggest they re-issue it, or even the Topic website? They might even still have copies for sale.
