I have been examining the online British Museum archive collection. It appears the Pied Piper Series maybe complete BUT you have to put a search word such as David Munrow Pied Piper Mexico, David Munrow Pied Piper Edgar Elgar, David Munrow Pied Piper Dance...In other words, you cannot simply put in Pied Piper David Munrow, and come up with the whole series with their subtitles! This makes things a bit complicated!
