The Guv'nor vol 1 is a compilation of recordings by English folk musician Ashley Hutchings.
Recordings were compiled from studio demos, live performances, and some studio finished products. Almost all had never been released before and the quality is variable. The tracks date from 1966 to 1993.
Release
At the time, the tracks by Fairport Convention attracted the most attention. Since 1993, most of these rarities have become available as bonus tracks on Fairport albums, or in the boxed set called "The Boxful of Treasures". The two Steeleye Span rarities have not become available elsewhere, but these recordings are of such poor fidelity that they must have been made on domestic, not professional equipment. Tracks four, six, and 16 were written by Bob Dylan. The compilation was released on CD in 1993.[1]
