What a beautiful, beautiful song. Ralph McTell is so talented. One of my all time favorite songs!
Fan from North Carolina USA

The same goes for most of the early compilations - usually called "Best of", "Greatest Hits" etc.
and released by Transatlantic or subsidiaries of it.
"Tack så mycket" is Swedish, but I get it ;-) = "tak så meget" in D., but we would say "MANgE tak" ( MANY thanks) or "Tusind tak" ( Thousand .. ) ).
dig = you , yes - even "thik" [theek] originally, corresponding to "thee" in E.
( just as du <- thu ~ thou & din ~ thine / thy )

You are welcome - you may also want to check out the fansite mentioned at the top,
which has several live sound samples, a complete discography as well as several
articles and reviews etc.
Yes, I got carried away a bit there LOL - there are so many of his songs
that are among my favourites, so hard to select which albums to recommend.
( "At the End of a Perfect Day" is a no-go btw. - think it was made under some
contractual obligation and far from his normal style ).

@Bjowolf2 - Thank you for all the work you did. I see you had so much good info, you had to write it up in a few replies! Again, Tak dig mycket

"Summer Girls" is a great song from the "The Boy With a Note" album.

Others are the amazing "Slip Shot Tap Room Dance" & the very beautiful "Caitlin's Song" / "Summer Birds are Leaving" sung by Maggie Reilly of
Mike Oldfield & "Moonlight Light Shadow" fame - at her very best voice!
-
Correction: "Affairs of the Heart" is a 4X compilation CD-box!
Also gives a really good impression of his career, although the focus
here is mainly on "love songs" in the widest sense of the word.
1 person ought to be strangled slowly - with a thin E-string ;-)
