Topic Treasures series deluxe re-issue of folk legend’s 1976 debut solo album. Includes 4 bonus tracks plus new introduction and extensive notesby June Tabor and Colin Irwin

It’s hard to believe but this remarkable debut album by June Tabor was recorded over four decades ago. Since then, she’s been consistently revered, not just in folk music circles but many realms beyond. Once described by Elvis Costello as “The great voice of English folk music,” Tabor has not only amassed some 13 solo albums since 1976 but numerous notable collaborations –including with Steeleye Span’s Maddy Prior (as the Silly Sisters) and more recently, Oysterband (their 2011 ‘Ragged Kingdom’ is one of Topic Records’ biggest selling albums).

‘Airs &amp; Graces’ introduced one of the all-time great British singers with a predominantly traditional collection of songs ranging from Child Ballads (“Bonny May”, “Young Waters” , “Waly Waly”) to the classic ballads (“Reyandine” and “The Plains of Waterloo”) and Eric Bogle’s monumental anti - war song “The Band Played Waltzing Matilda”. The guitar accompaniments by another great folk performer of the time, Nic Jones, are intricate and whollysympathetic to the songs and June’s vocals. ‘Airs &amp; Graces’ was greeted by rave reviews firmly establishing June Tabor as a force to be reckoned with. The Daily Telegraph said at the time, “She has the rare gift of releasing the innermost warmth and light of the old songs.” “An auspicious debut,” said Melody Maker.
