■ Caroline Hughes – Sheep-Crook and Black Dog – MTCD365-6 Two CDs + 48 page integral booklet in DVD case, 90 tracks, 142 minutes. This legendary Gypsy singer is thought by many to be the finest exponent of the art. These are the rarely heard 1963 and 1966 recordings made by Ewan MacColl, Peggy Seeger and Charles Parker, which we’re proud to make widely available for the first time. All Caroline Hughes’ best-known songs are here, plus many more including eight never before heard. If the fragmentary nature of some of her songs displeases you, just enjoy the wonderful tunes, the variable verse lengths, long and short lines, and her brilliant musicianship. £16.00 ■ Cecilia Costello – “Old Fashioned Songs” – MTCD363-4 Two CDs + 44 page integral booklet in DVD case, 89 tracks, 155 minutes. This great singer from Birmingham was just one generation away from rural Ireland, with a repertoire ranging from a never before collected English revenant ballad to the music-hall and pop songs of her youth. CD 1 contains all the Leader and Folktrax 1951 recordings, while CD 2 has 63 songs recorded in 1967 and ’71 by Charles Parker, Roy Palmer and Jon Raven, none of which have been previously released. Both include passages of speech about the songs and her life. Another ‘complete recorded repertoire’ release from MT Records. £16.00 ■ The Willett Family – Adieu to Old England – MTCD361-2 + 28 page integral booklet in DVD case, 2 CDs – 35 tracks, 101 minutes. Topic released their first ever LP of English traditional singers in 1963 – The Willett Family: A Roving Jouneyman. They acknowledged the help of Ken Stubbs, who first located and recorded the Willetts. Musical Traditions Records are now – 50 years later – very pleased to be able to present those first 31 Ken Stubbs recordings, plus 4 tracks from elsewhere, making this the complete recorded repertoire of the Willett Family... generally accepted as amongst the finest English Gypsy singers ever recorded. £16.00 ■ Bernie Cherry – With powder, shot and gun – MTCD359 + 24 page integral booklet in DVD case, 21 tracks, 76 minutes. Bernie is an English traditional style singer with a very interesting repertoire of unusual songs, and/or unfamiliar versions. Perhaps, equally importantly, he copies no one – either revivalist or traditional. Twenty-one newly recorded 2013 performances, with occasional melodeon accompaniments by Roger Grimes or Rod Stradling. £12.00 ■ Far in the Mountains, volume 5 – Echoes from the Mountains – MTCD503 + 28 page integral booklet in DVD case – 43 tracks, 77 minutes. Since their publication, back in 2002, the 4-CD set Far in the Mountains have been MT’s best-selling production, and are a wonderful source of splendid songs, tunes and stories. Recently Mike Yates found time to re-listen to some of the recordings that had not made their way onto the four CDs, and was rather surprised to discover just how much good material had been left off the albums, and so set about putting together Far in the Mountains – Volume 5. £12.00 ■ A Somerset Scrapbook – MTCD252, CD-ROM – Digital book with embedded audio files. Back in 1987, Bob and Jacqueline Patten published a 120-page book and 60-minute cassette called Somerset Scrapbook. Now, twenty-five years later, it’s available again, completely updated and re-formatted for the digital age with embedded sound files. £12.00 All above prices include UK p&p
