Title: The Cover is More Significant than the CD
Review: I agree with Wilson ("gosh ... you shouldn't have") that it is a pretty feeble effort to put out such a sparse "collection" of Fairport's music plus have the nerve to call it "the Millennium Collection," and the 2 stars rating is for the minimum content of the package, certainly not the music (which is 5 stars). But this release has one redeeming quality for those who are collectors and completists, and that is the cover art. Except for the header, it is the original 1969 Album cover from the 1st US release (on A&M Records) of what is now generally known as "What We Did on Our Holidays" (it was just titled: "Fairport Convention" here). Probably not worth the full price (especially to those of us who still have the original vinyl version), but might be worth it used. It's a pretty nice picture of then youngsters Alexandra Elene MacLean Denny, "Ian" M. Matthews (who many forget was there), Richard Thompson, Simon Nicol, Martin Lamble and Ashley S. Hutchings.
