Many of us in the states had to rely on records to hear any kind of traditional/folk music and MacColl recorded great songs. In the documentary Grateful Dawg, Jerry Garcia told of the two albums that influenced him... Blow Boys Blow & Leviathan... wow.. mine too who'd have thunk it

Manchester Angel is finally on CD, possibly because a few of us made a point of mentioning to Peggy Seeger at a small, local folk festival that this oversight desperately needed fixing.   ;)

Can't make it across the pond any time soon, but maybe we can get something going over here.
