This is a selection of 16 track from the two albums Folk Songs of Old England Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. I wonder why they didn’t put all 26 tracks on this compilation—with now less than 40 minutes there is plenty of space left. Compare to this the much more interesting compilation Heydays: The Solo Recordings 1968-1976.
