Description

Hello, I hope that the following may be of interest.

CD album “Cherry Blossom Time”

My disc, which is the version currently sold by Leeds RSCDS, would appear to be a different edition to that listed in the database. The references of the CD are as follows

Title : Cherry Blossom Time Volume 1, Scottish Country Dances by John drewry and Kibby Kobayashi Artists: Gordon Shand and his Scottish Dance Band Catalogue n°: GOSH081 Copyright: 2008 Gordon Shand Manufactured for Birnam CD, Scotland

13 tracks (listed below)

  1. Breeze Bay - J (8*32)
  2. Mount Fuji S - (8*32)
  3. Thomas Glover’s Reel - R (8*32)
  4. Have a Bashie - J (4*32)
  5. East Meets West - S (3*24)
  6. Down Side Up - R (8*32)
  7. Five Stars - R (5*40)
  8. A Careless Philosopher - R (8*32)
  9. A Lady From the West - S (4*32)
  10. The Better Half - R (8*32)
  11. Mrs Eightford - M (4(S32+R32))
  12. Happy Rovers - M (J32+S32+R32)
  13. Kurazukuri - S (3*40)

The timings and tune lists correspond with the appropriate track listed on the website except for track 13 Kurazukuri S3*40 (just a change of order for tunes 1 and 2) where the tunes are given as

  1. George Carmichael’s Strathspey (A Cameron)
  2. Claymore Strathspey (A Cameron)
  3. Nancy Barrowman’s Fancy (M Philip)

I think that I have given you all the information available, but I will happily check any other details that you might need/want. Many thanks, Jane

Thanks for the very detailed summary.

The only reference I can find on the web to the existing “Cherry Blossom Time” album in SCDDB is http://sound.tac-rscds.org/images/covers/TACsound.pdf1 which lists the tracks (but not tunes). But there is no other trace on the TAC sounds website. Gordon Shand’s website (https://gordonshand.com/) is empty.

It does look as though what is labelled as DISC2 in http://sound.tac-rscds.org/images/covers/TACsound.pdf1 was reissued as “Cherry Blossom Time Volume 1” but the original DISC1 was not.

I think we should leave the original album alone and add a new album for “Cherry Blossom Time Volume 1” with the last 13 recordings from the original.

Hello Jane,

I have added another album recording for Cherry Blossom Time Volume 1 with just those 13 recordings (https://my.strathspey.org/dd/album/1143/).

After looking more carefully I realise I am not clear about the tune order for Kurazukuri. The order you listed is what the database already has for that tune. So if that is the order listed on the CD I do not see what is wrong. Cheers, Murrough
