I just listened to the track on the Antiquities CD, Sandra. MacColl sings it in a sweet soprano that sounds amazingly like the way Peggy Seeger sings it....
[grin]

I had a similar problem trying to find a John Prine recording of "Angel From Montgomery" - I had it on several John Prine CD's, but the voice always sounded like Bonnie Raitt. I finally did find it on Prine's self-titled album - but I don't think you're going to find a MacColl recording of "First Time."

I'm also looking for a Woody Guthrie recording of "Deportee." Joe Klein says Woody used to chant that song, and didn't really have a tune for it.
