The Watersons by The Watersons, released on Topic in 1966.

Sleeve Notes

The Watersons sing songs from all over the country but pay special attention to those collected in their native East Yorkshire. They live in Hull, the great seaport beside the Humber that also produced one of our greatest poets, Andrew Marvell; and in Hull they have for some years run their famous club, Folk Union One.

The Manchester Angel - Traditional English Songs by Ewan MacColl With Peggy Seeger, released on Topic Records in 1966.

Sleeve Notes

Ewan MacColl is Britain's foremost singer of folk songs, as properly distinct from 'folksinger' however one understands the term. Many people associate him chiefly with Scottish songs and modem author-made pieces 'in the folk manner', but in fact his skill and the quality of his imagination are particularly apt also for interpreting the traditional songs of the English countryside. The psychological climate of English song is fairly different from that of Scots song, and the feel of modern 'folk-based' compositions is different again; moreover each has its own suiting ways of performance. We have no other singer who can so successfully move from one climate and style to another.

The Bird In The Bush (Traditional Erotic Songs) by A. L. Lloyd, Anne Briggs, Frankie Armstrong with Alf Edwards and Dave Swarbrick, released on Topic in 1966.

Tom Knapp wrote on Rambles.net:

These simple, sparsely arranged recordings are utterly without artifice or pretense; they are boldly brazen, but never coarse. Rather, blunt puns and metaphors lay bare the true meaning of these songs. They show the plain-spoken delight that has made the saucier side of British folk music a treat for countless generations.

...as the subtitle indicates, these are "Traditional Songs of Love & Lust." For the most part, the songs were ancient long before these were recorded; the notes on one track mention copies circulating in Shakespeare's time, when the piece in question was already old.

Martin Carthy is the debut solo album by English folk musician Martin Carthy, originally released in 1965 by Fontana Records and later re-issued by Topic Records. The album features Dave Swarbrick playing fiddle or mandolin on a number of the tracks. Swarbrick was not headlined on the album for contractual reasons[1] as he was with the Ian Campbell Folk Group at the time with permission granted by Transatlantic Records.

The song notes on the album are written by Martin with Ian Campbell writing the introduction.

All the tracks are Traditional except "Springhill Mine Disaster" which was written by Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger following the 1958 disaster and "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" which was written by Robert Dwyer Joyce. - Wikipedia
