Christmas Tails Assembly

A full day of work on Christmas Tails, so much work. First working out the track order, setting the basic per track details and filing all of this. Then setting the master levels, and dividing the album into tracks. Plus, the visible track lists and lengths for the CD artwork, checking the lyrics. Lots of jobs.

One snag is the need for one 'free' track or one 'showcase' track, which is a key feature of Bandcamp. This was the reason I created a medley last time, a sort of overture. I may have to do the same here.

I listened to each track and checked the lyrics word by work as I listened. Amazingly (apart from my track, and Deborah's, of course) only one track, John Lindley's, had the completely correct lyrics. Each had at least one mistake, but one song clearly had 'first draft' lyrics with whole lines being different.

Here, exclusively for you good people, is the track list and order so far...

It may yet change. The release date is set for November 28th but people can pre-order it now.
