... my brother bought it when it first came out and probably gave it away to impress a gilrfriend; so I haven't heard it properly since about 1972.
I've sadly been waiting all this time for a new copy, but remember making my fingers bleed trying to practise Ralph's finger-picking style.
He still plays songs like 'Michael' in concerts which show him to be a man of thoughtful decency, as well as George Harrison's 'national treasure' when it comes to guitar-playing and the richness of his muscular vocals.
If we really have to have an honours' system then it's people like this we ought to admire: 40 years of singer-songwriting and storytelling and still going strong.

Ralph's Side
23 Oct 2011
Format:Audio CD
Fans of the great Brit folk players (Nick Drake, Bert Jansch, Roy Harper, etc) should have no trouble enjoying Ralph McTell. "My Side of the Window" is from 1969 and is plush with immediately likable tunes for voice and steel-string and occasional other accompanying instruments. These are mellow and melodic tunes, alternatively clever or poetic. For the price at present you can't go wrong. Eight Frames a Second is also a real winner but pricier and apparently more rare at this point.
