FAIRPORT CONVENTION- Unhalfbricking- Rare UK ISLAND ILPS-9102 from 1969. Not the very first pressing (an extremely rare version was available for just a few weeks on the "block" label, this one came after on pink island "I" with matrix numbers ILPS 9102 A // 1 1 1 and ILPS 9102 B // 1 1 1 which defines a garanteed first pressing, though not on the collectable "block" label.
The second of three masterpieces that featured Fairport Convention with the wonderful, and sadly missed Sandy Denny. The line-up in full here were: Sandy Denny, Ashley Hutchings; Martin Lamble, Simon Nicol and Richard Thompson - virtually a folk supergroup. Unhalfbricking, a strange title was actually thought of by Sandy during a word game in the group van while travelling, her parents are the couple on the front cover. This a genuine folk-rock classic, the quality of the songs is astonishing from the very beginning, ‘Genesis Hall’, a catchy short song with a lovely haunting quality, then ‘Si su dois partir’, a surprise hit single which features Dave Swarbrick on fiddle, he actually features on half the album and his influence is highly important for this album’s quality and sound. Two more Fairport legendary titles are also included: the traditional ‘A Sailor’s Life’ which is embolded as one of the greatest folk-rock songs of all time, beautiful vocals by Sandy complemented perfectly with Thompson’s distinctive guitar and then ending with a blistering fiddle frenzy by Swarbrick, and of course Sandy’s tour de force the majestic ‘Who Knows Where the Time Goes’, not just a classic within this genre, but for me, one of the greatest songs ever written - once heard, never forgotten. This wonderful song, like the lady herself is written in folk history as one of the true greats. Also featured are three Bob Dylan songs, lesser known gems, and again are beautifully interpreted.
Overall i'd grade it VG++/VG++ with some ringwear and superficial lines and hairlines though nothing to worry about but still i would say that if you are a top mint collector better wait for the next copy!
