Too Close to the Wind.
It combines the best of trad-based Fairport, the songwriting tradition, ensemble performance, local reference, and a satisfying narrative.

The Summer Before The War
I know they did perform that live but isn't that Simon Solo. I think I would go for either The Hiring Fair or Red and Gold both in my opinion Fairport even surpass Ralphs own very fine versions.

Really interesting choice, makes me think I should revisit Red and Gold - I don't remember it ever being done live, can anyone put me right on that?
