I do agree. But there would seem to be some input from ringers via the description of what is being rung.

Could be that the recording were done "on the fly" with the bands not knowing that the recordings would go on the web. The St Dunstan recording looks bad to ringers when they read what is being rung and hear seriously dodgy rounds being rung before the bells go into changes then are then called back into rounds-if the rounds aren't somewhere near good, little point going into changes.
