I swore I had a copy of this book, but I couldn't find it when I started this thread. Now I've found it (it was a lot smaller than I remembered), but the index is not set up for easy OCR, so you'll have to put up with the titles in ALLCAPS.

Big Red Songbook, compiled by Mal Collins, Dave Harker, and Geoff White (London: Pluto Press, 1977 & 1981) [are there later editions with more songs?]
