2.0 out of 5 stars Rather a disappointment, 2 Jan 2011
By T. Phillips (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)  
This review is from: Festival (Studio- And Live Recordings) (Audio CD)
I took a punt on this on the basis of little information, because it was a cheap price for what was offered. The 4CD set contains stuff all available on other albums. However, it must be said, not some of the most readily available ones (mostly Woodworm Archives). The sleeve notes are in German and English and are poor. In both languages, for example, Simon Nicol is described as an "ex Member" of Fairport. There is a total absence of source information, designed, I expect, to try to make this look like a new collection.

Completists may want this, but it actally adds nothing to a good collection.


due to the absence of any track listing i assume its probably the cropredy box repackaged with some more tracks from the boot series

I notice the cover says the set includes "Nottamum Town".  If it's not a mum, what is it?
