I found it finally. It is on The Critics 'Ye Mariners All' Argo LP. Unfortunately, on the tape I made of this decades ago, I did not record the record number or personnel, but it is definitely MacColl singing. The album is excellent, as were others by this group such as 'The Female Frolic', 'Waterloo Peterloo', 'Sweet Thames Flow Softly', 'As We Were a'Sailing' etc. It would be great if some of them were reissued on CD.
