62 No Fillers 1
For this, we chose albums that we consider to have no weak tracks at all, that is, no fillers, no tracks just to pad out the album to its full length. Naturally enough this is a little bit subjective, so if we haven’t included your favourite, I apologise, but will note that we have several albums left over in our list, enough for more shows on this theme, if you like it. And do please send us your own suggestions for this category. Tracks were chosen as far as possible to be the less-well known and played ones from each album
The Preshow was made up from the F section of my stash, with Flanders and Swann interjecting some humour between Fairport Convention and Fleetwood Mac.
The Postshow consisted of tracks that didn’t quite make the cut for the main show, given that we restricted ourselves to two tracks from each album. This was one way to fit those extra tracks in.
