Fellow Love Hounds:
Since it's been a while and nobody has come forth with a CD booklet
for _This Woman's Work_, I have taken it upon myself to make one.
Chalkhills subscribers may have seen the booklet I produced for XTC's
_Rag & Bone Buffet_, a similar collection of B-sides and rare tracks.
I am attempting to collect as much information as I can about the
recording, performance, and release of the tracks on _This Woman's
Work_. I have started with the first CD of the set ("The Empty
Bullring" to "Be Kind To My Mistakes", for you non-CD owners).
Here is the information I have been able to glean from my own
collection and my Love-Hounds archives. Thank you to Jeff and Ed for
help with finding the lyrics.
Please examine the information below, and if you have any corrections,
elucidations, and any other additional information, please E-MAIL it to
me (relph@presto.ig.com). If you send it to Love-Hounds or post it to
rec.music.gaffa I may not see it.

Looks great so far... The only thing I have to add right now is wrt "My Lagan Love." As many of us know the melody is traditional. In addition to this, according to IED, the lyrics were "commissioned" (if that's the right word to use between siblings!) of John Carder by KaTe. (ooh! See? JC *can* write some decent poetry! :-\ ) Jeff -- |Jeffrey C.

I think that December will be Magic Again was recorded late in 1979 - too late to be released in time for the holidays of that year. The single was shelved until the next year. mike (2 tests tomorrow and then the sig gets changed) -- Michael Graham | "The only thing I know about backmasking is that graham@ug.cs.dal.ca | when you play your records backwards it f*cks mgraham@ac.dal.ca | your stylus" - Bruce Dick*i*nson

In article <1991Apr11.174945.11288@cs.dal.ca> you write: >I think that December will be Magic Again was recorded late in 1979 - too >late to be released in time for the holidays of that year. The single was >shelved until the next year. > >mike (2 tests tomorrow and then the sig gets changed) Actually, there are several different versions of this song. The first was what Kate sang at at the 1979 Christmas special. It was supposed to be released as a single that year, but got put off. Kate sang the so-called "bongo" version for the ABBA Snowtime Special. Finally, a third version was released as a single in the fall of 1980. Ed ed@das.llnl.gov
