5 stars This was, in effect Fairports debut album, being a complete change of direction from their actual first. It is also the first to feature the amazing Sandy Denny. This is Prog/Folk at its finest, opening with the gloriously haunting Fotheringay. It also includes my all-time favourite Fairport track "She Moves Through The Fair", also covered by Trees on "Garden of Jane Delawney", which in turn eventually became Simple Mind's "Belfast Child". All in all, a fine example of early Prog/Folk. Essential!
