Waterson:Carthy: Fishes & Fine Yellow Sand (Topic TSCD542)

Fishes & Fine Yellow Sand
Waterson:Carthy

Topic Records TSCD542 (CD, UK, June 2004)

Recorded, mixed and produced by Oliver Knight;
Farewell Lovely Nancy recorded by Ben Ivitsky;
Executive producer Tony Engle;
Photography, design and sand-fish by John Haxby

According to the Waterson:Carthy newsletter of Summer 2004, “a number of tracks were recorded live at gigs during recent tours and one track, The Oxford Girl, was recorded at a soundcheck.” This does not quite fit the album notes which only state Napoleon’s Death to be recorded live at Blackheath Concert Hall.

Musicians

Norma Waterson: vocals;
Eliza Carthy: fiddle, vocals;
Martin Carthy: guitar, vocals;
Tim van Eyken: melodeon;
with Ben Ivitsky: cello [5]
