Description

This was Fairport Convention's third album and was released on the Island Label (ILPS 9102) in 1969. It has matrix numbers ILPS 9102 A#1 and ILPS 9102 B#1. It is a stereo pressing on heavy quality vinyl. I recorded the album to tape shortly after purchase and usually played the taped version rather than the vinyl. I and have looked after it well and It has always been stored vertically alongside other albums in a record cabinet.

The condition of the vinyl is excellent and it plays very well with no skipping or jumping. There seems to be hardly any surface noise or sound deterioration after all these years.

The front cover is in excellent condition, being extremely clean and hardly any creases. The spine is clearly legible and has no creases or folds. The back cover is also in excellent condition having just a slight crease near one edge and a very slight scratch mark - by Simon Nichol's hand. The cover is printed and made by Ernest J Day.

The album comes with its original lined inner sleeve. It is in excellent condition with no splits or tears.

The album features several unreleased Bob Dylan songs, together with one of Sandy Denny's best, "Who Know's Where The Time Goes?". Sadly, two months before the album was released, drummer Martin Lamble was killed in a car accident. The band almost called it a day but the album was enthusiastically received and they went on to pursue folk rock further. Dave Swarbrick, who later became a full member of Fairport, plays fiddle on several tracks, and former member, Ian Matthews sings on Bob Dylan's "Percy's Song".
