The first record was on Folkways with Rolf Cahn and dates from 1961. The
one to have is the record with Dick Farina (also Ethan Singer and "Blind Boy
Grunt" AKA unowho) recorded at Dobell's Record Shop in London in January
1963. Available on CD from Solano Records with outtakes and a couple of new
songs. Also available as MP3 from Amazon. They have some copies for sale
from Associates but it is unclear whether these are LPs or CDs. The last
record is Baby Let Me Lay It On You. (Gazell, 1995) I've known Joe Boyd
since 1965. He isn't always spot on with facts.
