British traditional folk rock...
This from The Byrds third album recorded between January and May 1966. Nobody could deny that this isn't folk rock, at least 2 years before FC's first album. https://youtu.be/Fe5V3-sWQeAI can't look at YouTube at work - does this have a fiddle on it..?   there is another version without the sweeping strings on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CrpAO6td88 |

I have been listening to this again in the car and, whilst many of my original reservations remain, I do have to admit that it is a fantastically well recorded album. There is a warmth to the production and every instrument and vocal is crystal clear and exactly where it should be in the mix, even on the live material, which is quite an achievement. I am beginning to wonder if the live takes of Mercy Bay and John Condon are actually superior to the live versions.
Not keen at all on the updated Danny Jack by the way. It sounds lumpen and cluttered to me.

You may wish to consider rewriting that line, Gub.  Jules |

That's how I interpreted it - a "live" recording as opposed to seeing the band live playing them. Either way, it's great to hear a positive comment about the album!  |

You were. It turns out though that Gub meant what I suspected he had. (The quote above not being my own.) Jules |

I see that Rocket 88 books are giving away the album with every copy of their Fairport by Fairport this month.

I'd love to see the figures in 4 week's time. |

I ordered my copy from the website on the 23rd, and it hasn't turned up yet. Should I be concerned yet?

I don't think so, the tour only completed last night.
If it hasn't arrived by this weekend, then maybe send a message to the office.
