Ordered mine just now. The samples sound pretty good, even on the tiny tinny speakers on my laptop.

My copy arrived in the post from Norway this morning, and it's playing as I type. It's thoroughly recommended, and I congratulate Jonny and Thor-Rune on this project.

Likewise, mine has arrived. What a fine album. Considering its origin, the quality of the recording is outstanding. Well done to all concerned.

I agree with what´s said above. Had just time to listen to the first three tracks during lunchbreak but from what I heard it sounds great. Paul Warren doing a great job on the drums and Sandy´s phrasing is different and interesting. I was moved back to Fairport´s gig in Gothenburgh in December that same year. The recording has a great "live feeling" to it.
Well done everyone involved.

Yes, its a good performance, I liked it, sound quality surprisingly good given the caveats, professionaly packaged, etc. Well done to those that produced it, and to FC for allowing it to be sold.

All good things come to those who wait. My copy was waiting for me when I got back home on Thursday evening. I can't really add much to what has already been said, its an excellently put together package, the liner notes are fab and the sound, well just to hear sandy singing Who Knows with that backing band made the whole CD for me. Well done and thank-you T-R and the chaps for allowing this recording to be issued. I don't suppose there are many bands would would sanction such a release, but there again Fairport aren't just another band as we all know. If any of you were not sure about getting this, please do. Its worth every penny. cheers MikeC |

How nice to come in here and see all these wonderful comments about a CD I am partly responsible for. I'd like to thank all of you for your kind words about "Many ears to please". It's been so inspiring to read. We went out of our way to make this a quality product and a labour of love. Normally Jerry's liner notes would have been enough for the booklet, I suppose. But I finally had the chance to write my own liner notes for a Fairport CD and like hell I was gonna let that chance go. Oh yes, I've been living the dream...
All the best from Thor-Rune

I was only joking, I have no idea how long it is.
I recall that Stackridge used to stretch "Slark" out for hours on end...

I believe that the Sloth being discussed is 21 minutes long.
