 Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick: Selections (Philips 6303 043)

As This is… Martin Carthy, this is a compilation of Byker Hill and But Two Came By, but this time with three instrumentals from No Songs thrown in for a good measure. Fortunately, there is no overlapping in the two compilation records.
