The Anne Briggs is wonderful - perhaps the best record to start with of hers. I'd love to have seen her play live. Maybe she'll come out of retirement one of these days, perhaps encouraged by the renewed interest in her music.
The BPB one is very good, although perhaps I'm just saying that because it reminds me of his show at the Lemon Tree. It's probably worth getting just for the title track alone.
Vivian Girls are very entertaining. Some of their songs remind me of Tiger Trap, whose only album is well worth digging out.
