Raven presents 19 essential tracks from Britain’s most acclaimed and enduring electric folk band -FAIRPORT CONVENTION. Comprised of material originally issued on the Island, Vertigo and Woodworm labels, this unique package features electrifying performances by Richard Thompson, Sandy Denny, Trevor Lucas, David Swarbrick, Simon Nicol, Dave Pegg, Dave Mattacks and a cast of thousands.
Spanning arguably the band’s most productive and creative period, the material takes up where Island’s admirable 1972 collection History of Fairport Convention left off. Includes desirable rare and unreleased live material from the early 1970s and 16-page colour booklet with an array of archival photos and memorabilia.
