-
In
this
release
we
navigate
the
uncharted
waters
of
Fairport
Convention’s
early
voyages
across
the
UK,
European
and
American
airwaves.
Fairport
initially
focused
on
covers
of
future
classics
by
US
/
Canadian
singer-songwriters
such
as
Joni
Mitchell,
Leonard
Cohen,
Richard
Farina
and
Bob
Dylan,
but
delivered
these
covers
in
increasingly
extended
electric
versions,
becoming
England’s
answer
to
Jefferson
Airplane.
Within
two
years
the
band
evolved
into
the
prime-movers
of
British
electric
folk-rock,
mixing
electrified
traditional
songs
with
outstanding
original
material
provided
mainly
by
Sandy
Denny
and
Richard
Thompson.
