CATALOGUE NUMBER 583035 YEAR OF RELEASE 1968 COUNTRY OF RELEASE U.K. SLEEVE TYPE SINGLE-E J DAY FULLY LAMINATED INSERTS/EXTRAS NONE  

GRADING/CONDITION DISC(s)

VERY GOOD (As for playwear there isnt any, and the record in very clean, there is however a problem or two. There is a warp, a small warp just a few millimeters from true but you can see it as the disc rotates, and also a little lip on the edge, as for playback the whole thing plays through ok without jumping sticking etc. The reproduction is really good in beaty bits and "whooshie" on the early tracks on both sides in quiet places)

LABELS

EXCELLENT (CLEAN with NO user writing rips tears stickers or removal marks with TRACE spindleusage and MINIMAL ageing and wear)

SLEEVE

EXCELLENT- (Clean sleeve with NO writing rips tears stickers or removal marks the laminate is complete with just a couple of small thumbnail type creases, complete spine with clear lettering, and really just some heavy wear to the bottom right corner to mention.)

EMITEX INNER: EX

DETAILS

By far the most rock-oriented of Fairport Convention's early albums, this debut was recorded before Sandy Denny joined the band (Judy Dyble handles the female vocals). Unjustly overlooked by listeners who consider the band's pre-Denny output insignificant, this is a fine folk-rock effort that takes far more inspiration from West Coast '60s sounds than traditional British folk.

Fairport's chief strengths at this early juncture were the group's interpretations, particularly in the harmony vocals, of obscure tunes by American songwriters such as Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Emitt Rhodes, and Jim & Jean. Their own songs weren't quite up to that high standard, but were better than many have given them credit for, with "Decameron" and "Sun Shade" in particular hitting wonderfully fetching melancholic moods.

It's true that Fairport would devise a more original style after Denny joined, but the bandmembers' first-class abilities as more American pop-folk-rock-styled musicians on this album shouldn't be undersold.
