Rather a favourite of mine too - I love a lot of songs on that album, including Sailing Boat, Golden Glove, John Gaudie and even Wishfulness Waltz. If I had to leave anything off it, it would be Life's A Long Song...

Totally agree there - to be polite it's awful Sad

I first heard it about 2 years ago and I had to play it twice as I couldn't believe it the first time. The only track I FF on the album though.

I absolutely love Fairport's treatment of 'Life is a Long Song' - but I don't care for 'Sailing Boat'. Once again opinions are everything! Cool

they certainly are! Vive la difference

That's because Fairport absolutely murdered Life's A Long Song.

For me, the patient was already dead on arrival; much as I love Tull and Fairport, that song has never done anything for me. I do agree with those who thing WKWTTG is a great record, though; I still play it often.
