"Exhaustive list of tracks: boring, but surely its necessary to let the potential customer know whats on the recording"

You can always say something like: "A CD based mostly around well-trodden traditional songs, but also including a couple of Muggins' own compositions and an ill-advised cover of Brian Eno's 'King's Lead Hat'." You only need to mention four or five titles that are either outstanding (good or bad) or that typify the album. If the punter wants that song they liked at the gig, there'll be a track list on the website.

I do usually hand things back if they're not my kind of stuff.
