First of all I would strongly urge anyone wanting just one album by Fairport Convention to get the recently released Japan double CD which included ALL the tracks off the original double LP.

This album is a perfect introduction to this great band's first era on Island Records and as close to a one-stop-shop as is available.Not all their albums are must-have Classics and this album does an excellent job of cherry picking their most important and enduring tracks.Even with the omission of the "Medley" and "Crazy Man Michael" (both from Liege and Lief-maybe the CD compilers assumed even the casual fan would buy that album anyway- I digress) the album is an immensely enjoyable listen.get this album Liege and Lief and you have pretty much all you need. Well maybe Angel Delight too or the first Folk Rock Opera that is Babbacombe Lee.....

Five stars
