Next year, Fairport Convention will be forty years old. For a group to survive so long in what is a ‘short shelf life’ consumer society is itself astonishing. For it to become one of the great British folk music aggregations and also one of the great British musical institutions (regardless of musical genre) is perhaps less so. That Fairport Convention has done this by not only respecting and recycling its own back catalogue but through a steady evolution of its sound and repertoire, shows a very high level of dedication to its art.

This fabulous 2CD set, brings you the legendary folk rock giants Fairport Convention captured between 1974 and 2002, both live and in the studio, and featuring the late Sandy Denny, Trevor Lucas, Simon Nicol, Dave Swarbrick, Ric Sanders and Dave Pegg, amongst other folk and folk rock legends
