FAIRPORT CONVENTION ~ LIEGE & LIEF ISLAND 586929 (Barcode: 731458692928) ~ UK ~ Folk-Rock Recorded: 1969 4th album. This recording is considered as one of the most important albums of the British Folk-Rock movement. With a stellar line-up (with Sandy DennyFind albums by this artist on vocals, Dave SwabrickFind albums by this artist on violin and Richard ThompsonFind albums by this artist on guitar) the group performs brilliantly and the music is fresh and heartwarming. One of those albums that stay with us forever.
FAIRPORT CONVENTION ~ LIEGE & LIEF (DELUXE EDITION) ISLAND 5301111 (Barcode: 600753011119) ~ UK ~ Folk-Rock Recorded: 1969Released: 2007 4th album by Fairport ConventionFind albums by this artist, Britain’s greatest Folk-Rock protagonists of all times, considered as an absolute classic of the genre and recently voted as the most important Folk-Rock album of all times. This was their 3rd album on the IslandFind albums on this label label and also the 3rd album to be released the same year (1969) – a remarkable achievement by any standards. The group included six of the greatest Folk-Rock musicians ever playing together in one band: Sandy DennyFind albums by this artist – vocals, Ashley HutchingsFind albums by this artist – bass, Dave MattacksFind albums by this artist – drums, Simon NicolFind albums by this artist – guitar, Dave SwarbrickFind albums by this artist – violin and Richard ThompsonFind albums by this artist – guitar. Their unique interpretation of folk material as well as original songs kept in the spirit of traditional folk are truly exceptional. Denny’s extraordinary vocal talent and the vocal harmonies, as well as the instrumental performances are all just perfect and in retrospect lose absolutely nothing of their freshness and originality over the years. This new addition adds an entire second CD full of never before released material, including studio outtakes and BBC live performances. Absolutely Essential!
