The CD is a collection based on the original vinyl issue. According to the very badly edited notes on the insert, this collection is from
The Iron Muse (12T86) - presumably the whole record.
The Bonny Pit Laddie (2-12TS271-2) - 'some songs'
1 song each from:
Deep Lancashire (12T188)
Owdham Edge (12T204)
Oldham's Burning Sands (12TS206)
Along The Coally Tyne (12T189)
Canny Newcassell (12TS219)
Tommy Armstrong of Tyneside (12T122)
Northumberland for Ever (12TS186)
'Ewan MacColl's contributions are drawn from:'
Steam Whistle Ballads (12T104)

I had the original vinyl, but it seems to have gone astray.
