Today is the first chance I have had since before Easter to add a new substantive post here. The notebook computer really wasn’t very user friendly for this purpose, and in any event circumstances conspired against me ever using it for long at all.
Anyway, this time we start our consideration of the words which appear on the back cover of the LP.
In the middle, at the top, is a track listing:
SIDE ONE
1. Roll Over Vaughn Williams (4.09)
2. Nobody’s Wedding (3.13)
3. The Poor Ditching Boy (3.01)
4. Shaky Nancy (3.26)
5. The Angels Took My Racehorse Away (4.01)
6. Wheely Down (3.00)
SIDE TWO
1. The New St. George (2.08)
2. Painted Ladies (3.31)
3. Cold Feet (2.26)
4. Mary And Joseph (1.38)
5. The Old Changing Way (3.55)
6. Twisted (1.58)
There follow these credits:
