Ralph McTell is an English singer-songwriter best known for his timeless classic ‘Streets Of London’. McTell has been an influential figure in British folk music since the ‘60s and his songs have been covered by hundreds of artists all over the world. This new essential compilation features 46 tracks across 3 CDs.

CD 1 opens with the classic song ‘Streets Of London’ which McTell recorded for his 1969 album ‘Spiral Staircase’.

At one point, the song sold a staggering 90,000 copies a day and is still a much loved folk classic today. Other highlights on this disc include ‘England 1914’, ‘Hesitation Blues’ and ‘Blind Blake’s Rag’ which showcase McTell’s unmistakable guitar playing.
