She was Australia's answer to Mary Travis and Joan Baez but never received the recognition she deserved. I wonder what happened to her? She was wonderful, and my idol as a 17 year-old wannabe folk singer.<br />TrishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285972952988060123.post-63571268550064796802009-12-21T15:34:07.873+11:002009-12-21T15:34:07.873+11:00Marion Henderson's EPs, Australian Folk Songs ...Marion Henderson's EPs, Australian Folk Songs Vol 1& 2, (Pix 006 & 007), appeared in April 1964. Reviewed in Sydney's Sun Herald 26/4/64, p. 86<br /><br />Pix issued another 2 EPs, Great folk songs of the world Vol 1 & 2, (Pix 008 & 009), in September 1964. Reviewed in Sydney's Sun Herald 20/9/64, p. 84<br /><br />Pix was still selling all four EPs in 1966. The magazine claimed the Australian Folk Songs EPs had sold over 10,000 copies. <br /><br />Each EP set had its own accompanying note sheet. <br /><br />Marian had been the pianist in Melbourne's Thunderbirds but her first professional singing in Sydney was as a jazz vocalist. The National Library has a 2002 interview with Marian conducted by Alex and Annette Hood: Marian details her 'itinerant schooling' and her early career in Melbourne and Sydney.<br />http://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/603088Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285972952988060123.post-82230066825548665542009-11-23T21:05:11.433+11:002009-11-23T21:05:11.433+11:00hi folks

You<br />recieved them in an off white cardboard sleeve with a circular cutout so that you could read the label of the record.<br /><br />Without checking my old copies of Pix I would guess that the record offer went for well over a year. The Pix staff photographer must have shot of quite a few rolls of film, as each week the coupon was accompanied by a different photo of Marion.<br /><br />the 2 "great folk songs of the world" eps featured only Marion singing and playing guitar - no other backing musos.<br /><br />finally Marion's background prior to these recordings was not in jazz at all. In fact she was from Melbourne and played piano in the original line up of one of the very early rock'n'roll in melbourne, the Thunderbirds.<br /><br />regards ZN.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285972952988060123.post-15971415845185538102009-07-26T01:32:47.411+10:002009-07-26T01:32:47.411+10:00Sorry Dougal but the first link produces the nla r...Sorry Dougal but the first link produces the nla response:- "... is no longer relevant" and the second is way off-topic for this blog.Paul the Stockmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17096130245670029700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285972952988060123.post-49947436655678886392009-07-25T19:57:37.297+10:002009-07-25T19:57:37.297+10:00Regarding the info from the magazine: mate, I'...Regarding the info from the magazine: mate, I'm really disappointed.
