“Fun isn’t something one considers when balancing the universe collecting sea shanties, but this does put a smile on my face”.

I will only link downloads of recordings that are not available for sale new (digitally or physically) anywhere.

Info

• #20 (1999) - 25 (2004) are described on The Clancy Brothers’ website
• Wikipedia has performer lists for #20 (1999) - #37 (2016)

The List

Other Albums that I am Working on Collecting / Digitizing:

• Stormalong John
  • Any Port In A Storm
    • My amateur digitization of a cassette
  • A Liverpool Packet
    • Digitized from cassette and uploaded by user “rbargains” to the Internet Archive in Feburary, 2022!
  • Through Stormy Seas
    • Acquired digital version (flac), cleaned up metadata, renamed to “Through Stormy Seas” instead of “Through Stormy Weather” because that’s what the album is called on shanty.co.uk/stormalongjohn.html.
    • Embedded the provided album art which is a crop of the painting “On the Dogger Bank, 1846 by Clarkson R.A.”. I don’t know if that was the original cover art or added later. If / when I find a physical copy of my own I will update here.
    • Available for download here
  • Most complete discography seems to be at shanty.co.uk, I haven’t been able to track down a copy of “A Liverpool Packet” anywhere yet, if you have a copy please let me know, my email address is on my homepage.
• The Shanty Crew
  • Sea Shanties and Sailor Songs
    • Acquired a digital version (mp3).
