ALBUM HISTORY and RARITY

Fairport Convention's finest moment, their 1969 seminal album, released in December of 69. On release, the album sold only moderately, reaching number 17 in the album charts. This version being the PINK ISLAND label 1st pressing!  So probably only a few would have survived in this condition. Fairport's forth album  was the change in direction the band were always destined to move in. This was the first time any British group turned traditional folk songs into a modern contemporary  style, using electrified instruments to play songs that had only ever been heard acoustically.  Starting a new and highly controversial style of modern folk.. "Folk-rock" was born. You can not underestimate the impact the album made on the British Folk music scene. Highly influential and probably the most important Folk album of all time. Sandy Denny 's vocals were heavily prominent on the album, but her relationship with Trevor Lucas pulling her away from the band. Sandy left even before the albums release, she left to form Fotheringay with Lucas, which also moved into the new genre.
