There is always another course of action, ie not to bother wasting
time on ****! So much good stuff you could listen to instead, but
won't have time because you wasted it on crap. :-(


That brings us back to a very old argument about what matters more,
content or quality?

These may well be the last surviving copies of some very important
recordings. At the worst, these videos may keep these songs alive for a
new audience, one or more of whom may end up re-recording one or more of
them for posterity (And cash, of course.) Or they may be used as
material related to an academic study, as recordings of folk songs made
using a cheap cassette recorder out in the wilds often were.


Yep, and like them I'm happy to do it when somebody is paying me for it!
I'd first look for the original disks though.
