Martin o' Lyos here:

Quote from album notes:

" Written music has also survived, in the form of vocal melodies. These
range from the ...to the insistent, repeated phrases of <i>the Watchman</i>,
here strummed in a strong rhythmic style on the lyre."

In short, the cover notes are nearly useless! They do give the address, but
that has already been quoted in this message. I believe you will need to
contact the producers directly. GoodLuck
