Comments and Reviews nboldock 26th Mar 2014 Remaining scans coming in due course.
This is a curious little boxset - it bills itself as a folk collection but as you can see, much of the content isn't really "folk" at all (perhaps not surprising given that it's a Reader's Digest collection). That said, there are some solid gold classics included herein, though sadly there is an equal amount of dross on some of the discs as well, and the tracklisting is a little random, to say the least.
However, I think it cost me about 50p (some years ago from a charity shop my Mum worked in), so fair's fair!
Oh and lastly, the tracklisting on the back of the box (not shown yet) has an additional track on disc 3 which isn't in the booklet - I need to check whether it is on the disc (not sure off the top of my head) and if so add it in.
