Old lp wanted

From: GUEST,fishhook@erols.com

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.

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?

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.
