Don't know if it counts as 'Early' but for my money the one record of Judy's I'd never want to be without is 'Who Knows Where The Time Goes'. Besides the title track (and I know it's heresy but I still think it's the best recorded version, even with the slightly cheesy key change) it's one of the few American albums of the time that sits comfortably alongside the great British folk-rock albums of the time like 'Basket of Light', 'Liege and Lief' and 'Please To See The King'.

Part of the reason for that is the band - Stephen Stills, James Burton, Buddy Emmons, Chris Etheridge, Van Dyke Parks and the brilliant but sadly doomed Jim Gordon (who later developed schizophrenia and ended up serving a life sentence for the murder of his mother).   I think Joshua Rifkin was in there as well. Very typical of Judy to spot a great song like 'Who Knows' when no-one else had recorded it.

'Pretty Polly' stands alongside Fairport's 'Tam Lin' and 'A Sailor's Life' as one of the great rock settings of a traditional song. If she's keeping an eye on this thread, however (which she seems to be), I'd have to ask her one question about the sleeve:

That hat. What WERE you thinking?
