A Song For Every Season - Part One
Tater Beer Night (Leader LEA 4046)
The Copper Family
This is the first part of a four album set released in 1971. The other parts will follow at roughly 1 week intervals (or when I get round to doing them).
The songs were recorded at Bob Copper's home in Peacehaven by Bill Leader. Interspersed with the songs is a commentary by Bob telling the story of the family and of farm life in rural Sussex. The family on this particular recording consists of Bob Copper, his Cousin Ron Copper, Bob's son John and daughter Jill.
The recordings were originally released to accompany Bob's book of the same name - s/h copies can usually be found on Amazon. A companion album to this 'Songs and Southern Breezes' featuring songs collected in Sussex by Bob in the 1950s can be found on Gonzo's site. Again the book to accompany that recording can often be found on Amazon.

I've included the artwork in a separate file so it only needs to be downloaded once for all four records. Also included is the 16 page booklet which accompanied the album.

Thanks very much for this. I have a personal as well as musical interest in this, because my grandparents are buried in Rottingdean churchyard, close to several generations of the Copper family.
