1. Young Edwin In The Low Lands Low
2. As We Were A Sailing
3. The Flying Cloud
4. All Things Are Quite Silent
Side B:
1. One May Morning
2. The Cock
3. The Bramble Briar
4. Thorneymoor Woods
5. The Banks Of Sweet Primroses

The archive is missing The Bramble Briar
Great album nonetheless and many thanks for posting it
Rats - It's not actually missing but for some reason the wav file didn't get cut properly - it's the second half of The Cock. I can probably recut and repost it but it won't be for another week now. If you have Audacity or some such programme it's an easy enough job to cut the track and then retag the files.
Sorry...

I've uploaded a freshly cut version - the download link now points to this one.
Many thanks for this Reynardine. Fine singer. Garry
I must say, I'm a big fan of Killen's accent. Look forward to hearing this.
