Description
For the first time ever, fans can experience the timeless magic of Fairport Convention's 'Second Golden Age' all in one place with this meticulously crafted & comprehensive 'It All Came Round Again: Onstage & On Air 1982-90' deluxe boxset. With access to hours of live performances both on stage at Cropredy & in session on the BBC, this bespoke Madfish offering, curated by Bert Jansch/John McLaughlin biographer Colin Harper, is the definitive tribute to the legendary British folk-rock band's enduring legacy.
The Fairport Convention legend was forged between 1967 & 1979 - 12 years, 16 albums, umpteen line-ups & four exhausted people at the end of it. In August 1980, the last line-up - Simon Nicol, Dave Swarbrick, Dave Pegg & Bruce Rowland - reunited for a day in a farmer's field in Cropredy, Oxfordshire, establishing the iconic 'Fairport's Cropredy Convention' festival in the process. Five relatively quiet years passed by before, in 1985 & by popular demand, a new recording & touring Fairport Convention assembled around Peggy & Simon. Everything moved up a gear. There would be four new albums by 1990 & BBC Radio welcomed the reborn folk-rockers with remarkable regularity.
Included inside:
* Limited edition 11CD + DVD set with 60-page book & slipcase
* Reproduction memorabilia signed by four members of the legendary line-up: Richard Thompson, Simon Nicol, Dave Pegg, Dave Mattacks
* Live at Cropredy Festival 1982-84 & 1986-87 plus BBC concerts & studio sessions
* Guest performances from Ralph McTell, June Tabor, Ian Anderson & Martin Barre (Jethro Tull)
* 134 audio tracks - 57 previously unreleased
* Over 100 minutes of BBC DVD content including three bonus sessions from 1972-76
Mastering is by the mighty Eroc & the 60-page booklet features an extensive new essay by Kate Bush/John Martyn biographer Graeme Thomson, new appreciations by Fairport biographers Patrick Humphries & Nigel Schofield, vintage interview features by Colin Irwin & Mat Snow & superb photography from Dave Peabody.
