The Watersons, A Yorkshire Christmas

Witchwood Media WMCD 2029 (CD, UK, November 7, 2005)

Rod Green disegna questa natalizia artwork per un CD prodotto nel 1995 da David Cousins ma in realtà registrato nel Dicembre 1980 a Crathorn Hall nel North Yorkshire. La registrazione è senza dubbio eccezionale per qualità audio. Tra un traditional e l'altro vi sono anche alcune narrazioni: le voci narranti sono di Norman Benson, Mabel Race e Kit Calvert.
