  • Description

    One of the most successful Topic albums of all time is the full price collection of sea songs and shanties, BLOW THE MAN DOWN. It has sold over 25,000 copies in its long life - 10,000 of these on CD (TSCD464) - and is still a good seller, continually finding new markets. Now this budget Highpoint release presents another collection of 26 powerful, realistic and authentic perfomances, most of which have never been on CD before, with full descriptive notes. The artists featured include the established "greats" of the British folk movement - Ewan MacColl, A L Lloyd, The Watersons and more. SAILOR'S SONGS & SEA SHANTIES, with it's deluxe packaging and bargain price, is destined to be a perennial seller with a considerable potential for alternative markets in heritage outlets. Full tracklisting attached.
