[@ST-kr7hz]

Rest in peace Bert, thank you for the musical treasures you have left us.

Great to hear its full length the only way to get the whole saga

Ever wonder where Jimmy Page got all his brilliant ideas for the first three Led Zeppelin albums? He was such a blatant thief, but so brilliant in his execution! Anyways, I'm a huge Bert Jansch fan now!!

People would have accepted it if he had given Bert credit, but the little parasite never even acknowledged it.

[@chrisharry3475]

Are they taking this song down?

[@user-td4do3op2d]

Seems so. Very annoying

6 years later... No!

I've never understood extended time lengths for simple songs. It's a great song and needless to say Jansch and Renbourn's playing is gorgeous but it would've been a whole lot more gorgeous if it'd been edited down to about 3 or 4 minutes.

Would you "edit down" a work by Shakespeare or a novel by Conrad?

The Pentangle made this song twice as long on their 1970 album Cruel Sister, but they did a great version of it. It's no doubt the highlight of that album. That version goes through several variants as it progresses and near the end they go into an electric guitar jam (John Renbourn started flirting with low-key electric guitar by this point). It's great what Bert and John were doing on that version. I love this version as well, as I own the American LP version of this album on Vanguard (which features a totally different cover, of a photo of Bert Jansch circa 1970, when the American version was released, as well as the songs switched around).

Good stories can’t always be told in 3 or 4 minutes.

[@maxcuthbert100]

It's not really such a simple song ; it's a long ballad, something which evolved to fill long evenings back when there was no broadcast media.Hypnosis is the key word here.No-one back then measured the merit of storytellers on their brevity, either.

Folk scene Manchester Sports Guild. And Dylan went Acoustic ! So. He had a poor voice. Why was he sooo advertised in US. . We were listening to the Industrial Revolution n immigrants who built it . Real l. Not middle class phonies
