FAIRPORT CONVENTION
Liege & Lief
A&M SP 4257
LIEGE & LIEF, which many say contains the best incarnation of Fairport Convention's many personnel configurations, holds an important distinction. Since its 1970 U.S. release, the album has been in print continuously as either SP or CD 4257. Amazing, considering it was not in the Billboard Top 200. Its unique mixture of traditional Celtic folk with psychedlic rock accounts for its enduring influence.
Side One: Come All Ye 4:55/ Reynardine 4:33/ Matty Groves 8:08/ Farewell, Farewell 2:38.
Side Two: The Deserter 4:10/ Medley: The Lark in the Morning; Rakish Paddy; Fox-Hunter's Jig; Toss the Feathers 4:00/ Tam Lin 7:20/ Crazy Man Michael 4:35.
Sandy Denny, vocals/ Dave Mattacks, drums/ Ashley Hutchings, bass guitar/ Simon Nichol, guitars/ Dave Swarbrick, violin and viola/ Richard Thompson, guitars.
Front & Back cover photographs Eric Hayes/ Sleeve concept and design Fairport and Roberta Nicol/ Design coordination: Diogenic Attempts Ltd./ Engineering by John Wood, Sound Techniques Ltd./ Produced by Joe Boyd for Witchseasons Productions Ltd. with special thanks to the English Folk Dance and Song Society Library at Cecil Sharp House.
