Why isn't there a better English copy available somewhere online? I would love to pay for even a physical copy!

The Victoria & Albert Museum in London has a great recording in their archives, but unfortunately it is not commercially available. :(

Sarah, you would need to make an appointment to come to our reading room to see it. There are very strict rules around the showing of all NVAP recordings.
