Full review
Theis is an excellent introduction to the pioneers of folk rock in Britain. Fairport are still going strong today , (with a much changed line up) and are still releasing albums and hosting the Annual Cropredy festival which is documented in another three CD set available.

This compilations covers the years 1969 and features a nicely produced family tree inlay.

Some of the names are Richard Thompson, Sandy Denny , Ashley Hutchings, and Dave Swarbrick which may be familiar .

Stand out tracks include the ten minute Sailors Life featuring a guitar / fidle duel/duet between Swarbrick and Thompson, Matty Groves, Sloth and the beautiful Who Knows Where the Time Goes featuring Sandy Denny.

This is now available on mid price and should make you want to at least check out all their other albums.

This hAs been since superceded by Meet on the Ledge a double compilation , but is still excellent.
