Notes[]
As filk listeners know, Leslie Fish is extraordinarily prolific. While many of her songs are well-known in filk circles, she’s written hundreds of songs that have never been recorded.
With Angel with a Sword, we remastered and restored as many of Leslie’s “lost” songs from the early-to-mid 2000s as we could. Most of these songs have never been heard outside of a handful of small science-fiction convention concerts.
Songs were carefully selected across hours of concert recordings from 1999-2006, and painstakingly edited/mastered to near studio-grade quality by the amazing Phillip Klum.
Sound recordings by Gerry Tyra and Scott Dorsey. We’re also lucky to again have illustration and packaging design by brilliant Dutch artist Tineke Lemmens.
