[78-L] Ed McCurdy - recording with Peter Weldon

[Thomas Stern]

  There are 2 McCurdy LPs issued by FOLK-ART (Mount Vernon Music) in 1964,
which credit McCurdy vocals and guitar, Weldon on banjo. Peter Weldon
remembers a session done in Canada in the late 50's with Ed, but is unaware
it was released.
There is a Canadian LP on the CAPRI label (circa 1956) which credits  only
Ed McCurdy. However, ALL the songs on that LP are also among the songs on
the 2 FOLK-ART discs. I have not been able to listen to the CAPRI album. If
anyone has it, please let me know if any of the selections have banjo
accompaniment, or if you have a source which indicates the CAPRI and FOLK
ART recordings are the same recordings. THANKS!
  Below I've listed the known details of the 3 albums.
  Does anyone know of any other album which has the selections on the
FOLK-ART releases which were NOT on the CAPRI album ???
THANKS!
Best wishes, Thomas.
