“An Introduction to The Oldham Tinkers” (Topic Records)-This charming collection shines a welcome spotlight on the collected output of South Lancashire folkies The Oldham Tinkers. The group recorded a string of instantly identifiable albums for Topic during their creative heyday in the seventies as well as making regular appearances on the radio shows of devoted admirers such as Andy Kershaw and John Peel, and newcomers to their warm hearted repertoire would be well advised to lend an ear to fine tracks such as “Charlie Chaplin,” “Seeing Double” and “A Mon Like Thee.”
