I wouldn't be at all surprised if, when you went through Electric Eden and counted the pages referring to Fairport Convention and Electric Folk, you came up with a figure of around eighty.

It's just a reprint from Electric Eden: This week, Faber publishes a six-title, ebook-only series called Faber Forty-Fives. Priced at £1.99, each of the six books (which are available of course from all ebook retailers) is an edited extract from a larger, existing work on Faber’s Pop list:
Rob Chapman, Syd Barrett and British Psychedelia from Syd Barrett: A Very Irregular Head
Rob Young, Fairport Convention and Electric Folk from Electric Eden: Unearthing Britain’s Visionary Music
Michael Bracewell, Roxy Music and Art-Rock Glamour from Roxy: The Band That Invented an Era
Nick Kent, The New Music Journalism from Apathy for the Devil
Jon Savage, Sex Pistols and Punk from England’s Dreaming: Sex Pistols and Punk Rock
Simon Reynolds, UK Post-Punk from Rip It Up and Start Again: Post-Punk 1978–1984
