Reviews
- This record is a little harder to rip because of the ocean noises that run behind and between every track. If you denoise the record, be sure to tamp down the sensitivity a bit to preserve this.
Great record - not my favorite of these early Nat Geo LPs but a good one. - This album is a beast of nautical-themed folk. If you are interested in pirate culture or songs...this is a must own! Complete with a foldout about the history of the music diagrams of the ships etc.
- Fabulous, wonderful, well-crafted compilation of sea chantries, great performances all, with interstitial maritime sound effects. I was a sailor on The Golden Hinde when a friend lent this record to me, in Redwood City, CA, in 1987, and I couldn't have wished for a better soundtrack to my stint on a square-rigged sailing ship. (Although the gig was mostly giving tours, around the San Francisco Bay.)
As a University of Michigan School of Music, Music History and Musicology graduate, I also give this recording high marks for authenticity and performance quality. It makes a great historical reanactment resource, as well as working as a concept piece for those wanting just wanting a bit of musical escape.
It's a crying shame that this recording has never been re-released digitally, as it's just about the best sea shanty albumn ever made.
