.. they had 3 of the 10 or so tracks on the disc.
 i was planning on uploading mp3s of this album.. until..





this album which was tracked down on youtube has those 3 tracks and a bunch of other similar stuff. here is mp3s and as far as i know this is the first time it has been made available for mp3 download. not a perfect dub but you can hear the songs nonetheless. awesome selection of traditional songs performed impeccably
