Title: Time for a Matty Grooves retrospective?

Oh come on - if these last albums had been on Woodworm there'd have been half a dozen mismatched compilations by now... ::) [;-)
So - heretofore my thirteen track compilation, something from every recent album (I've excluded From The Desk on grounds of near-bootleggery) even when it was a case of choosing the least-worst track rather than what might be considered the best (no names, no pack drill). I've tried to include varied a mix of songs and tunes, and to not be too retrospective in terms of songs that have already been made available multiple times. Out in time for Christmas with an all-new cover photo and featuring sleeve notes by Dave Swarbrick...

"The Fossil Hunter"
"Canny Capers"
"Danny Jack's Chase"
"Farewell Farewell"
"Weightless / The Gravity Reel"
"The Gallivant"
“Cell Song”
"I'm Already There"
"Some Special Place"
"Around the Wild Cape Horn"
"Untouchable"
"Theodore's Song"
"Home"


Unless you know better..?  8)

I'd buy it for the sleeve notes alone...

Of course I know better!  ;)

Actually a pretty good selection I thought, though there is one track that I personally would not include as it is one that I skip when playing its parent CD.
