Great album. Ragged Heroes, Poor Old Horse, Ampleforth/Lay Me Low, Gresford Disaster in particular are as good as English folk rock ever got.

Tough to choose a favourite!
Battle of the field is an lp I love. I still don't have a copy of the later lps and I think this may be Oop from prices I was seeing on at least the cd a few months back.Like what I've heard by the various versions of Albionband bands. Especially the really early stuff with the Thompsons. I think there are like 3 live sets from that era around 72 circulating. All pretty interesting. Hutchinson seems to have kept things interesting bandwidth for decades shame he was less than great to Shirley Collins.

Yikes, how did I almost miss this poll. I love this album so much, voting Poor Old Horse.
