The version that I learned (in 1966!) was by Alex Campbell, on the album called either "Folk Session" or "Alex Campbell Sings Folk" depending on which label released it and when. The album is available at "Time Has Told Me" (http://time-has-told-me.blogspot.com/2007/10/alex-campbell.html)as a download, BUT, very unfortunately, where "The Bonny Ship the Diamond" SHOULD appear, "The Gresford Disaster" is repeated -so no help there, then! However, if you can find a copy of that album, or if any Mudcatter has one, it's worth a listen. (I have the LP, but I have no facility to rip it to mp3.)
