Fairport Convention

Unhalfbricking
Stunning 1969 Pink Island Original With Black Swirl Logo Over Spindle Hole. Richard Thompson And Sandy Denny Shine Throughout This Record, Which Is Considered By Some To Be Their Fairport Peak Together. The Second Album By A Tragically Short-Lived Fairport Convention Lineup. It Seems Top-Heavy With Dylan Tunes, Three Of Them Included, But They're Done With Such Verve And Freshness (Si Tu Dois Partir) That They Seem Perfectly Appropriate. As For The Rest, Denny's Performance On "Autopsy" Is Outshone Only By Her Work On The Apocalyptic Nine-Minute "A Sailor's Life," Which Is One Of The Greatest English Folk-Rock Showcases Ever Recorded-A Rival To Such Works As Phil Ochs' "Crucifixion" And Bob Dylan's "Desolation Row," As A Song That Just Makes The Listener "White Out" Inside, Mouth Open, When Its Over. Also Highlighted By The Definitive Denny Recording Of "Who Knows Where The Time Goes." The LP Is Very Near Mint With Only The Hint Of A Spindle Trail On One Label. A Truly Five Star Album. Very Tempting To Keep For My Own Collection, As This Original Handily Trounces Any Reissue I’ve Heard.
