Various Artists - Sailors' Songs & Sea Shanties

One of the most successful Topic albums of all time is the full price collection of sea songs and shanties, BLOW THE MAN DOWN. It has sold over 25,000 copies in its long life - 10,000 of these on CD (TSCD464) - and is still a good seller, continually finding new markets.
