Comments:
Sub-titled: Aboriginal Music from Western Arnhem Land (Corroboree Songs with Didjeridu; Some Speech).
Reviewer: Liner Notes

Field anthropology recordings by Alice M. Moyle with poor sound quality and mediocre playing. The emphasis in the recording is on the vocal parts.
Reviewer: John Morfit

Certainly of interest to ethnomusicologists as this collection appears to represent a broad and detailed collection of Aborigine musical tradition. For the didj enthusiast, its worth a listen, but I would not put this series on the top of my list if were just started out or had anything less than a committed interest in the subject of Aborigine song and music
