Title: Not a Sound Choice
Review: There is no doubt that this album was recorded during the height of Fairport Convention's populartity. The selections on this album are the signature songs. So what's the problem? In one word, it is the sound. This recording is like listening to someone holding up a cell phone at a concert. I get the impression that something wonderful is going on, but the quality of the recording is literally unlistenable. I tried playing it loud; I tried playing it soft. It was so garbled and tinny that listening was an excercise in frustration.If you want to delve into the Fairport Convention, this is not the recording for you. They call it the Woodworm Archives. Unfortunately, it sounds as bad as the label.
