Those three albums are in the 'To Be Digitized' queue here @ Casa m. 
Three that have made many a digital wishlist on my part.  Don't have
their 4th and final and only CBS release, think that came out in 77,
any word on that ...any good? As the three A&M pieces are excellent,
solid and quite listenable to this day.  Never heard the High Society
stuff either, JF, Richard Hudson, Terry Cassidy, Brian Willoughby and a
few others, think that came out around 96/7.  Man, I'd love to have
been able to see that Hudson/Ford era Strawbs ...an all time perennial
fave of mine ... electric Strawbs hitting the road this summer, should
prove being somewhat special as the Cousins/Lambert/Willoughby acoustic
Strawbs shows were highlights of my 2003 concert goings.

Just saw fellow Long Island resident, John Ford about a month ago.  He
plays in acoustic and electric/full band guise around these parts,
occasionally, and is quite entertaining.  He's also been known to sit
in w/another fellow L.I. resident, Ritchie Blackmore ...either in his
hokey Blackmore's Knight(k-night or n-night ...hokey)
renaissancey/shlocky format or just he and JF and/or any other
configuration of players in amplified/non amplified format. 

Anyway ...enough babble ...here's John Ford's web site, the guy still
looks like John Ford, eh ;-)  --

Unfortunately none of the Hudson-Ford albums are on CD, but they've
been on
my wish list for a long time as well. I would imagine Universal owns
the
rights to them these days, and they'd be a great candidate for release
on
Universal Japan, or perhaps Repertoire.
