Title: an under-sung chapter in Fairport history
Product review: These days when Fairport gets mentioned it's usually the groundbreaking early folk-rockers or the current hosts of the annual Cropredy festival. Back in the mid-70s, though, a version was cobbled together from members of the 'Liege and Lief'-era band plus Sandy Denny's Fotheringay. While they may not have added as much to Fairport's catalog of original songs as other incarnations had, they were a terrific 'live' band and made Fairport lots of lifelong fans (including this one). I played the surface off my copy of this LP and was glad to find this available. Sound is good, bonus tracks are nice, no complaints. While the choice of material is odd in spots I'd give the performances five stars all around.
