History

The original release had his name misspelled and was a 10-inch LP. In 1960, four of the songs were released on an EP titled Jack Elliott.

The album was recorded in February and March 1956 by John R.T. Davis at his home in Burnham, Buckinghamshire, England. It is an obscure release in Elliott's catalog that even collectors aren't aware of.[1]

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Richie Unterberger wrote of the album "There isn't anything here remarkably different from most of Elliott's other vintage folk releases, but it's a good no-frills set..."[1]

Personnel
gollark: Does `write` in older versions accept a string too on binary files?
gollark: UPDATE: it works now since apparently I can still `readAll` and `write` strings in `wb`/`rb` mode for some reason.
gollark: I'm having some bizarre issues writing some binary data to files. I'll try and put together a bit of code to demonstrate this with, but basically it seems like `\13` bytes (carriage return) are being replaced with `\10` bytes (line feed). My code is using `"w"` and `"r"` modes instead of binary mode because according to the wiki binary mode doesn't let me use `readAll` and write a whole string; do I need binary mode and is there a way around reading/writing individual bytes for this?
gollark: Wait, an automatic nether portal? Won't that run out of flint and steel or something eventually?
gollark: But I'd be interested to know what application you're working on which uses distance data.
