| 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) |
