Issue 1302: Identical tunes? 3x Sixty Fathom Reel

Object: Da Sixty Fathom Reel (Tune)
Submitter: Heiko Schmidt (castle_ghost)
Assigned to: Viktor Lehmann
Priority: Normal
Disposition: Fixed
Description: Dear all,

I have stumbled over three entries called “Sixty Fathom Reel” attributed to “A Couper”, “Glen A Cooper”, and “Peter Scollay”, respectively (IDs: 9337, 10771 and 2924).

I guess that at least the first two are identical.

Does anyone has the means to check this? Unfortunately, I do not.

Cheers, Heiko

The first two tunes were BOTH used in a recording by Nicol McLaren for “Maureen’s Reel” - so the question is just the correct “person name”. It is obviously “Alex Couper” as per this website, https://musicroad.blogspot.com/2021/05/scotlands-music-ross-and-ryan-couper.html , and the real title seems to be “Da Sixty Fathom Reel”. I will change all records re these two tunes.
The third seemed to be a mystery first, but as Nicol used that tune again in one of her recordings, I checked her recording of “Homeward Bound” against “Maureen’s Reel” - and DRUMROLL same tune. I merged all three under the correct full name, added aliases and deleted the duplicates.
