Not perfect. Never claimed to be.

Several bands have recorded orchestral albums of their material (starting, possibly, with Deep Purple, many years ago, more recently Sting and Ian Anderson).

So I started thinking: what tracks would you nominate for such treatment. Let's say 10-15 just to give some reasonable limits.

I'm still thinking about this, but, in no particular order, I reckon the following might make a good start:

Who Knows Where The Time Goes
The Hiring Fair
The Deserter
Now Be Thankful
Sloth
Portmeirion
Fotheringay
Walk AWhile
Matty Groves
Meet On The Ledge

I think One More Chance would be a perfect fit, presuming you could find someone to sing it.
