This album below is a wonderful collection of gems for the collector of sea music recordings! I am not aware if it has been officially released on CD or MP3, but one might find a copy via Ebay. I have a copy I digitized myself and if you are looking for a copy, send me a comment request. Meanwhile, below is a sound segment of Louis Killen ripping out the tune Ten Penny Bit, followed immediately by Cliff singing The Dreadnought with a chorus of Jeff Warner, Gerret Warner, and Tony Saletan.

The Dreadnaught
Hi, Cliff. Nice website — congratulations! I want to let you know that the website you have listed for obtaining the Roast Beef CD is now defunct. Best bets are CD Baby and Amazon.
I had fun playing a zombie with Joe, and was astonished by his story about the “flash gals” who show up at the Gris for Wild Rover. You are my idol.
All the best,
Jerry
Hi Cliff!
A friend recently showed me your rendition of Lowlands Away (which was absolutely lovely!) and I’ve been hooked on your Spotify albums ever since. I’ve been searching for an MP3 version of Songs & Sounds of the Sea but have yet to come across one; could I take you up on your offer of the digitized copy?
Thank you for sharing your talent and music with all of us!
All the best from California,
Paige
Good morning, Paige,
Yes, I can put together a CD of Songs & Sounds of the Sea… Or would you prefer a thumb drive? I’ll write you at your email address for where to send it.
Joseph (I’m Cliff’s site manager)
