Originally recorded between 1921 and 1936, this double cassette collection is a treasure. Issued by Viva Voce, less a record label and more a public service!

I don’t think Vive Voce still has this in print. It’s a shame, I only have a very muffled tape recorded copy of one of the tapes & would love to have the whole thing in a listenable state. From what I remember it’s really good & has lot’s of off the wall tunes like “Flea as a bird” no typo there, (it’s in Cole’s & Ryan’s) from people who I’ve talked to who got to meet Morrison they say it was a standard party piece of his.
Any chance of a copy for trade Aiden? Pretty please?!!
