Anji

Graham wrote "Anji" at 19, named for a girlfriend of the time, according to Wikipedia; the spelling varies across Anji, Angi, Angie and On Gee. It is acoustic fingerstyle with a descending bassline linked to the Andalusian cadence, and Wikipedia calls it one of the best-known acoustic blues-folk guitar pieces ever composed. It is commonly played in A minor with a capo at the second fret, while Graham's original is in C minor with a capo at the third. It first came out on the Topic EP 3/4 AD in 1962, and the same year appears the compilation tune.

Bert Jansch learned it from a 1961 tape borrowed from Len Partridge and recorded it as "Angie" on his debut, released on April 16, 1965, produced by Bill Leader. Simon and Garfunkel recorded it on December 13, 1965 for Sounds of Silence, released on January 17, 1966, produced by Bob Johnston, and "Somewhere They Can't Find Me" on the same record opens with its riff. "Anji" became the common spelling after that album. Chicken Shack covered it on 100 Ton Chicken (1969), and Arlen Roth, John Renbourn, Gordon Giltrap and Clive Carroll have also recorded it. Chumbawamba interpolated it in "Jacob's Ladder (Not in My Name)".

Graham himself recorded other versions, including 1:26 on All That Moody, 2:24 on Now Hear This! and 3:29 on Soundtrack to a Generation. We hold two uploads: one simply titled "Anji", whose version is unknown, and one titled "Anji | 3/4 AD", which is evidently from the EP. No chart history, video or setlist counts were verified.
