Great news from Andrew Batt via the SandyDennyList: "Most of you will know about the forthcoming BBC sessions CD, what you may not know is that this has now been expanded to a 4 disc set: 3Cd's and a DVD. I have been working with Universal to make sure it is complete- or at least as complete as we could make it! For a full tracklisting and an exclusive look at the artwork (using Sandy's sketches) go to: http://www.myspace.com/sandydennyI think you'll all agree this will be an important and definitive release. It hits the stores on 10th September." |

Andrew - I hope I'm not blowing his cover here - is the force behind Sandy's page on MySpace. He's also responsible for content on Marianne Faithfull's official website, and is a big authority on both singers. I thought I knew my way round Sandy's recordings until I encountered his encyclopaedic knowledge, which he has clearly put to great use in tracking down some true rarities for this new boxset.

I'm presuming it'll just be the 4 CD set but I'd like to know the answer to this as well, so I can change my order if necessary. Jules |

No, just the 4 disc set. The price has gone up accordingly. But think of what you stand to gain, Jim. The whole of the Sounds on Sunday concert from 1972, which hasn't appeared before. According to my man on the inside, this is "amazing with quite different performances to the other sessions of this material (her best ever Blackwaterside). She also introduces each song, which is fascinating." Plus audio of her set on the Old Grey Whistle Test. Not to mention the DVD of One in Ten which "will blow you away- it looks great, and the footage is in better sound and quality than I have seen before". Got to be worth a few extra pence. |

I just checked at my local indie shop and they tell me there's just the one version, now indeed put back to September. I think we'll be OK, Jim. You may even get a bargain! Jules |

ONly if they've already debited your card - otherwise they'll just let you know / cancel your order.

4 discs? I hate to complain but I can't remortgage again just to support my Fairport habit! What with this & R<'s Live 1975 and Linda's new one! We must be due another glut of Woodworm Archives releases too.   It took me a week to get through the Fairport BBC set! There is now so much stuff coming out that I only ever have time to listen to anything once! |

No way of knowing if the DVD part will be available in both NTSC and PAL formats, I guess.  |

I am told that the DVD is multi-region and will play in the States.
When I was bigging this up before, I should also have mentioned that the other bonus of expansion to 4 discs is that we get all her surviving pre-Fairport radio tracks. Previously these were only available on bootlegs (or not at all, I think, in the case of "Quiet Land of Erin").

Hi Pete I was just wondering - will Sandy's Fairport BBC recordings be duplicated on this forthcoming box set? Jules |

Hi Jules No. There's no duplication of tracks between the existing Fairport box and the upcoming Sandy box (which is mostly her solo). They are designed to be complementary. Have a look at the tracklisting at www.myspace.com/sandydenny Blimey, I sound like a salesman! I should be on commission. Philip aka Pete |
