Comment
This is special both because the band included Richard & Linda Thompson
and because for years this has circulated with only 18 tracks.
Don't Make It 54 and Richard & Linda's owns songs, electric and with a band are rarities.
This was an interim lineup and only lasted a few shows. As far as we know, there were no official recordings of any kind.
The band:
Ashley Hutchings (AH): bass
Simon Nicol (SN): guitar, vocal
Roger Swallow: drums
Richard Thompson (RT): guitar, vocal
Linda Thompsopn (LT): vocal
Shirley Collins (SC): vocal
John Watcham (JW): concertina
Barry Dransfield (BD): fiddle, vocal
and The Albion Morris Men (AMM)
