Description

FOR ORDERS OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES: Rates are crazy, aren’t they? Yeah… sorry ’bout that. I do my best to lower shipping legally and return overcharges, but the system is linked directly to the USPS system which means these rates are what USPS is giving out. Also please take note: we are not responsible for VAT or any other tariffs and taxes your region may levy for you to get your package.

 A collection of twenty-one songs, all with accompanying original music and chords from one of Britain’s most versatile writer/performers. The songs were written between 1987 and 1992, and range in tone from the title-song, inspired by Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast trilogy, to those inspired by the Discworld books and the film The Princess Bride. OUT OF PRINT.

These books have been in storage and are in pretty excellent condition, but the cover may look faded.

Paperback, 52 pages (21 songs).
A4 saddle-stapled.
Publication date 18 April 1992

Wail Songs

Wail Songs wasn’t about wailing into the nothingness. They were about filk. They had Cacie Sears, “a member of the Filk community from WAY back”, Spencer Love, and Bob Laurent, the president of Wail Songs.  When we find items put out by Wail Songs, we naturally get a little giddy.

Here is a neat little page about Bob from ye olden days. (Click)
