Jumpleads - The Stag Must Die

Can anyone supply the tracklist for this 80s folk rock LP? Someone taped it for me years ago, and I've just converted it to CD but don't know the titles (a lot of them are tunes)

Thanks

Dave Townsend, the concertina player, and I shared a house in Leeds for a while in the late 1970s. I lost touch with him after that. I have some vague idea that Jumpleads formed a while later in Oxford?? I remember Folk Roots/Southern Rag championing them for a while as in the vanguard of a new folk movement ("rogue folk") which was not particularly to my taste (sorry Dave!). He was/?is a great concertina player though. Also did something later to do with the rural music of Thomas Hardy, I think...

Dave Townsend has obviously gone on to a stellar career which I have missed, being mostly on the other side of the world...

Dave Townsend lives in Eynsham, Oxfordshire and plays with The Mellstock Band and is very involved in West Gallery Music. He publishes tune books and runs the Witney Folk Musicians workshops and weekend. He also Dances and lays for Eynsham Morris.

I have known Dave for more years than we care to remember, having first met him at Oxford City Morris years ago...
