This is probably the worst record that I have tried to give away!
High Barbaree
By Ray Martin & his orchestra.
Sung by The Bill Shepperd Chorus with Johnny Webb.
If any of you are catters - SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11 tracks in all.
One is called "The chinese bumboat man"!
No date that I can see, but has to be 50s.
It is a 33 1/3 rpm 10".
Found it in a skip of course!
Usual rules apply (ish) First to say yes gets it, I don't want postage back, however I would like to hear a tape of this one!
Just say "yes" & PM me an address.

I remember getting a present years ago of a casette of shanties (in English) sung by what was described, IIRC, as a "Dutch fishermens choir". It was dreadful! Very rigid, choral singing without any sense of what the songs were for. Curiously, the versions used were excellent - as were the accompanying notes. And there was a lovely picture on the sleeve... But - the singing....!

Regards
