Gryphon! I love their album, and Kemp's Jig is one of my favourites. Aaah! Brings back some memories, doesn't it?

Well done Rabbi-Sol & OldPossum

More like a Transatlantic sampler, I would have thought.

It does sound like it could be a Topic tape, but I don't know it myself.

I have enjoyed an old tape of mine so much that it has fallen apart and been spliced together to many times to count. I no longer have the outer shell, just the insides of the cassette. It was called 40 folk favories vol 1, I believe.   Has anyone heard of this and what the songs on it were? I want to get it replaced, but can't find it anywhere.

I have narrowed some of them down

Side 1: 1. Unknown 2. Dublins - Leaving of Liverpool 3. Bert Jansch - Rosemary Lane 4. Unknown 5. Unknown 6. Ralph Mctell - Dear River Thames 7. John Renbourn - Maid in Bedlam 8. Unknown 9. Unknown 10. Unknown.

Side 2: 1. Ralph Mctell - Streets of London, 2. unknown 3. Ungodly - Decameron 4. Unknown 5. Unknown 6. Unknown 7. Gryphon - Sir Gavin Grimbold 8. The Johnstons - Spanish Lady 9. Pentacle - Once I had a Sweetheart 10. Unknown


Thanks for anyone that can help
