Help: Looking for Eric Bogle Songbooks

Subject: Eric Bogle Songbooks?
From: SoloTheatre

Hi there,

I have been searching for almost 18 months for the Eric Bogle Songbooks. Have even emailed some Australian shops , with no luck. Any suggestions of where to look or who to contact to buy them would be much appreciated.

I have a particular craving to be able to play He's "Nobody's Moggy Now" and the "Silly Slang Song."

Thanks in advance

Joshua

The "Eric Bogle Songbook" that I have doesn't have either of those two songs in it, but it's one I got about 3 yrs ago at "The Folkstore" in the Seattle, Washington area. The publisher was:

Stormwarning Music
1516 24th Street N.W.
Calgary, Alberta, Canada

T2N 2P9

A note inside says "Published in Canada by agreement wth Larrikin Music Pty. Ltd., First published in Australia by Larrikin Music."

At that time Dusty Strings, in the Fremont section of Seattle carried quite a bit of Bogle stuff, on a hit-or-miss basis. Sorry I don't have their phone no immediately at hand - maybe someone else can come up with it.

Bogle songbooks are out of print, try Bibliofind

I have 'The Songs of Eric Bogle, published circa 1980, but I'm not willing to give it up. You might try a Digitrad Lyrics search on 'bogle.' It returned 23 sets of lyrics, including the two you're looking for (neither are in my songbook), and one has a tune file as well.

You could try Da Capo Music - Secondhand and Antiquarian Bookshop Da Capo in Sydney subub Glebe. They had a couple of different Bogle Songbooks last time I was in there. I have 3 different books in my collection (2 bought from Da Capo).

Solo,

how about xeroxes of my two E.B songbooks (some overlap in songs) or just of the two songs? Send me a PM if you are interested.

I found my copy on Mudcat, so you might yet. Keep refreshing the thread. Also, there is a new coming out, or at least that is what they tell me at Elderly.

G'day Mick,

I was in Da Capo - secondhand music shop, in Glebe, Sydney today. The currently have quite a few copies of all three Eric Bogle songbooks - plus both the "Stormking", Calgary, reprint of the first book ... and the Irish 'expanded' (further illustrated) version of that one, by Ossian (undated, but presumably ~ 1985). I bought a copy of that, for Aust$12 - just to round out the collection!

Most of the book seemed to be Aust $12 local price - probably US$6 plus postage/packing for overseas sales. Their web site is at: < www.dacapo.com.au/ > and has purchase details, which I won't bother repeating.

Regards,

Bob Bolton

G'day Rainer,

(I should use Babelfish to translate ... but you may be able to read my English ...)

I have three different Eric Bogle Song Books, as published in Australia, plus extra Irish and Canadian editions of the first book. These are not for sale. I'll check with book sites such as Da Capo ... who often have copies of the first book ... if not the later editions.

Regards,

(ich sollte Babelfish verwenden, um zu übersetzen..., aber Sie können in der LageSEIN, mein englisches zu lesen...)

Ich habe drei unterschiedliche Eric Bogle Lied-Bücher, wie veröffentlicht in Australien, plus die besonders irischen und kanadischen Ausgaben des ersten Buches. Diese sind nicht für Verkauf. Ich überprüfe mit Buchaufstellungsorten wie Da Capo..., wer häufig Kopien des ersten Buches... wenn nicht die Nachtausgaben haben.

If you are seeking information (rather than looking to complete a collection of the physical goods EB has produced) the E Bogle website has a great number of lyrics available, but no notation.

Hope this helps someone.

G'day Gnomad,

I translate Rainer's posting as:
"For years I've been searching for the lyrics and chords of Eric Bogle (songs). I only find the same songs.

Do you have two (different) song books ... or do you know someone that has? Do you have any for me?" ...

... so I guess the bare information on Wee Eric's site doesn't really help!

Rainer: I have checked my usual sources and they do not have any of the Eric Bogle Songbooks in stock. Sorry!

(Ich habe meine üblichen Quellen überprüft und sie haben nicht irgendwelche des Eric Bogle Songbooks auf Lager. Traurig!) [translated by babelfish / übersetzt durch Babelfish]

At a recent concert of his I saw a stack of songbooks for sale...

G'day Amergin,

I have heard rumours of a new song book ... these may have been the latest! (I'll have to wait until Wee Eric comes back home - and stops by Sydney for a concert or two - to find out.)

Thanks for the tip.

Regards,

Bob
