I agree w/ Joe, 'Black & White' is excellent. It also comes with tons of commentary on the songs, and if you are interested in MacColl's life and times, it's a good introduction.
He also did at least two albums of modern folk/social commentary-type songs w/ Peggy Seeger which are worth a look. One is called 'Saturday Night at the Bull & Mouth.'
Cool to see the 'Scots Ballads' out again. Our LP is getting worn out from all the listening over the years.
