Title: One from each album compilation Post by: David W on December 13, 2005, 02:27:44 PM You can choose one track from each FC studio album to make up your perfect set list / compilation - any offers?
I'll kick off with: Time Will Show the Wiser Meet on the Ledge Genesis Hall Tam Lin Sir Patrick Spens Journeyman's Grace Sailors Aplhabet Hens March ... Hexamshire Lass Restless Cropredy Capers Jams O'Donell Widow of Westmoreland Hiring Fair Sigh Beg Sigh Mor Red and Gold Claudy Banks Home is Where the Heart Is Dangerous Wood and the Wire My Love is in America Waiting for the tide to Come In That at Cropredy would make me happy [;-) Jackdaw Title: Re: One from each album compilation Post by: Speleologist (Robin) on December 13, 2005, 03:28:26 PM My choice, following the same rules, would be:
The Lobster The Lord is in this Place A Sailor's Life Crazy Man Michael Sloth Journeyman's Grace Cell Song The Plainsman Polly on the Shore One More Chance Sandy's Song The Bonny Bunch of Roses Honour and Praise Portmeirion Dark Eyed Molly The Wounded Whale Closing Time John Gaudie The Dancer I Wandered by a Brookside Some Speciial Place Also, if we allow Old, New, Borrowed, Blue (about half studio), then I'd choose Lalla Rookh from the studio section. Thant's my choices at the moment, but it could easily be different another day. ;) Title: Re: One from each album compilation Post by: Speleologist (Robin) on December 13, 2005, 03:31:49 PM And as an afterthought, I'd have "Now be Thankful" as it's on history, but not on any others until XXXV (At least in their original form).
Title: Re: One from each album compilation Post by: Keith on December 13, 2005, 04:09:20 PM It shall be...
I don't know where I stand Book song Who knows where the time goes Crazy man michael Now be thankful Dream song Wizard of the worldly game Polly on the shore Rosie One more chance (nothing from Gottle - would prefer silence) Eynsham poacher Jack Orion Wat Tyler Portmeirion Dark eyed Molly Rhythm of the time Red tide John Gaudie (but would probably leave this album out) Wood and the wire (ditto) The crowd The fossil hunter Title: Re: One from each album compilation Post by: tobeover2002 on December 13, 2005, 04:15:53 PM I'd go for:
Time Will Show The Wiser Tale In Hard Time Fotheringay Come All Ye Poor Will And The Jolly Hangman (well, it's on the remastered version!) The Journeyman's Grace Breakfast In Mayfair The Plainsman Polly On The Shaw One More Chance The Eynsham Poacher The Hair Of The Dog/Asbitme etc Honour And Praise The Gas Almost Works (honourable mention for Cat On The Mixer/Three Left Feet) Dark Eyed Molly The Wounded Whale Slip Jigs And Reels Lallah Rook The Spanish Main The Wood And The Wire My Love Is In America and I don't have the latest David Title: Re: One from each album compilation Post by: Folkie (Jen) on December 13, 2005, 04:51:51 PM Keith... perfect, apart from The Crowd. I think I would replace it with "I wandered by a brookside" or "The light of day".
J Title: Re: One from each album compilation Post by: Keith on December 13, 2005, 05:59:51 PM Keith... perfect, apart from The Crowd. I think I would replace it with "I wandered by a brookside" or "The light of day". J I don't doubt you're right Jen - The Crowd's the only one I know from XXXV, but as my Dad has the album then it deserves a listen. K. Title: Re: One from each album compilation Post by: Pat Helms on December 13, 2005, 07:28:47 PM I love these things!
Jack-of-Diamonds Tale in a Hard Time Autopsy Come All Ye Doctor of Physik Sir William Gower Breakfast in Mayfair Matthew Mark Luke & John Bring'Em DOwn Dawn Run Johnny Run John Barleycorn Wat Tyler Portmerion Summer Before the War Wounded Whale Naked Highwayman Woodworm Swing - I can't remember anything else from this album - does that make me a bad person? :-\ Spanish Main Wood & the Wire Happy Man Waiting for the Tide (?) I left out all of the live releases and Hey Day. Did I miss anyone besides those? Title: Re: One from each album compilation Post by: Pat Helms on December 13, 2005, 07:32:17 PM Gad! I forgot Gottle-o-Geer! How in the world did that happen? Oh well............. ;)
Title: Re: One from each album compilation Post by: The Happy Man (Rob) on December 13, 2005, 09:36:22 PM These would be my choice:-
Jack O'Diamonds Fotheringay Autopsy Farewell, Farewell Sir Patrick Spens The Journeyman's Grace John Lee Rosie Polly On The Shore White Dress Adieu Adieu Three Drunken Maidens The Hiring Fair Red And Gold Ginnie Slipjigs And Reels Here's To Tom Paine Close To You My Love Is In America I'm Already There From Rob {:-) Title: Re: One from each album compilation Post by: Neil on December 14, 2005, 04:25:07 AM Okay here goes:

Neil Title: Re: One from each album compilation Post by: Speleologist (Robin) on December 14, 2005, 08:28:14 AM Seems a lot easier than it is really. Neil I'd agree with that. I had a quick flick through the albums this morning, and many of my choices would have been different to yesterday. e.g Honour & Praise versus Hiring Fair versus Wat Tyler. I could choose any one of those for Gladys Leap :) Title: Re: One from each album compilation Post by: Stephan on December 14, 2005, 11:53:32 AM Grief! for one who only drops in now and again this is tough. And I cannot say I have all the albums.
The Lobster,Farewel Farewell,Fotheringhay(I live not so far away)Matty Groves,Tam Linn,Crazy man michael-well that`s a few. Stephan Title: Re: One from each album compilation Post by: Jan_ on December 15, 2005, 10:52:23 AM As I don't have the stamina to do this all in one go, I'm going to do it in stages.
1. I Don’t Know Where I Stand 2. I’ll Keep It With Mine 3. Genesis Hall 4. Crazy Man Michael 5. Now Be Thankful Title: Re: One from each album compilation Post by: Jan_ on December 15, 2005, 11:28:22 PM 6. Wizard Of The Worldly Game

I skipped Babbacombe Lee as it still seems like you need the whole thing to make any of it as good as it really is. Title: Re: One from each album compilation Post by: Anna on December 16, 2005, 01:22:25 PM What a challenge! I don't have anything close to a full set of studio albums, but here's my "effort" anyway... I tried to stick to the original content of the albums, apologies if I've accidentally included any bonus tracks...
Portfolio Meet On The Ledge Medley - Lark In the Morning etc Flatback Caper Angel Delight Sailors Alphabet To Althea From Prison The Rose Hip Slip Jigs & Reels Don't Leave Too Soon The Crowd Westward Yes, I know, there's a HUGE gap in the middle there... Xmas CD wish-list is with all family, relations, friends and casual acquaintances...
