If you do like ballads... then you must buy, beg, borrow or steal a copy of The Muckle Sangs (Classic Scots Ballads) which was first released as a Double LP on Tangent Records ?– TNGM 119/D in 1975. Then it was re-released in January 1992 on the Greentrax label as a single CD CDTRAX9005 I have just checked and it is still available from the Greentrax website. In my opinion it is the finest commercial release of the singing of the Classic Ballads by traditional singers. The comprehensive and informative booklet notes were compiled by Hamish Henderson and Ailie Munro.
