Lagga's Notes:
Richard Thompson in the foreword to Pamela Murray Winter's unpublished biography of Sandy Denny:
"Fairport Convention in 1968 was a repository of shy, retiring North London intellectuals. Teaming up with Sandy was like a Mini colliding with a lorry-load of bricks. She taught us to express our musical passions, gave us a real voice at the sharp end of our creativity, and we played our hearts out with little thought of anything else."
I'm happy that this old tape survived all these years to give you an idea what RT is talking about.
This tape was recorded only 2 1/2 weeks after Sandy joined Fairport. It was their 2nd live performance together, but still it sounds like they been together for ages. And they really played their hearts out.
This is Fairport Convention from the Heyday era with songs drawn almost entirely from contemporary American singer-songwriters.
It is the first known live recording with Sandy and Fairport and truly a piece of history!
