If I'm correct, the first Golden Ring recording was Golden Ring: A Gathering of Friends for Making Music, Folk-Legacy CD-16.

Here's the track listing:

Babe of Bethlehem
Barbara Ellen
Blind Man's Song, The
Captain Kid
Dipper of Stars
Golden Ring Around My Susan Girl
Holly Bears a Berry, The
Hound Dog Song, The
Howie's Breakdown
Jesse James
Nonesuch
One Man Shall Mow My Meadow
Rollin' A-Rollin'
Simple Gifts
This Old World
When Jesus Wept

The online notes:

This is the original recording of George and Gerry Armstrong, Ed Trickett, Howie Mitchell, Win Stracke, and others, singing together for the pure joy of it, a recording that defined the spirit of the Fox Hollow Festival and became one of the most popular recordings of the early folk song revival. It has been digitally remastered and is now available on compact disc.

The Blind Man's Song; Jesse James; Nonesuch; The Hound Dog Song; Captain Kidd; Dipper of Stars; When Jesus Wept; Simple Gifts; Rollin' A-Rollin'; One Man Shall Mow My Meadow; Howie's Breakdown; Barbara Ellen; Golden Ring Around My Susan Girl; The Holly Bears a Berry; Babe of Bethlehem; This Old World.
