(American) Think of them as families of ballads, each of which were given a number by American music scholar Francis Child when he collated them in the late 19th century. I’ve read that the original Argo tapes were reported lost by their subsequent owners Polygram, so maybe the CDs are recorded from the vinyl.Īs the title suggests, each LP covers four or five ballads (given in bold on the listings below with their Child number) of which MacColl and Seeger sing a number of different versions. Two further volumes (11 and 12) were recorded, but never released.Īrgo issue numbers: DA 66 to DA 75, and ZDA 66 to ZDA 75Īvailability: A 10CD set (plus a CD of notes) of The Long Harvest is available from Peggy Seeger’s website. Performed by: Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger (with sparing accompaniment on 5-string banjo, guitar, Appalachian dulcimer, concertina and autoharp)
