I know. I hope my local indie CD shop is charging less than that! Jules |

Better than the gouging you guys are getting, but still about $4 more than what I would be willing to pay for a single cd ... WTH! Were the costs to produce this high enough to justify those prices?? Or are they overestimating the demand? I think I'll give it a few weeks and see if it turns up on Rhapsody. |

It may well have a large, detailed booklet, or similar, which would raise the value a bit. |

Interesting to hear those tracks which subsequently made it onto FC albums played less rockily. Never knew that Albert Lee started rehearsiing with the group. And JD's dad plays sax on one track. Well done JD for putting it all together. Thank you. |

Yes the postman also delivered mine yesterday but package was hidden under a pile of washing so
I didn't see it when I got home from work last night so only just getting to hear it now!
I was surprised Fledg'ling records promised delivery in a few days when I ordered it last last week,
expecting to wait till the end of the month but it's here as promised. Well worth the wait
Just wonderful to hear Sandy sing Wild Mountain Thyme.
Thanks to everyone involved especially Jerry for pulling it all together.
Time to wind the volume up for Gypsy Davey

I don't want to spoil the pleasure for everyone waiting for the album, but rather overwhelmed I would like to pass on a few first impressions:
John The Gun- impressive opening, the song comes through as heavy, "beefy" with a tremendous vocal from Sandy. Totally amazing and with a phrasing I haven't heard in other JTG recordings. To me it's the definitive version of a song I hold very, very highly.
Eppie Moray- the sound makes me think of parts of Horslips "The Tain", heavier than what I've come to attribute to Fotheringay
Wild Mountain Thyme -lovely
Knights Of The Road & Late November, rather similar to later versions
Restless- softer than the RFTM version, I like this softer approach..
Gypsy Davey- the whole performance is more "electric" than the versions I've heard. This tension lifts the song.
I Don't Believe You- Trevor meets Bob. Again. Nothing spectacular but nice with a (to me) new FC/Sandy-related Dylan song The intro features "Rabbit" Bundrick heavily on (Hammond) organ.
Silver Threads....- a totally adorable version, rather low-key but with lovely backing harmony vocals. That's stuff I like.Great!
Bold Jack Donahue- Trevor at his absolutely best, a long narrative. Great musical buildup to a muscular sound just before the end. I just wish that Trevor's vocals could have been mixed a bit higher up in the sound picture.
Two Weeks Last Summer- sounds to me like the "Who Knows..."-box version with backing/harmony vocals, which I like. Cool, laid,back, summerish.
Hope I haven't spoiled anybody´s fun, but it's a great record, I've fallen in love with it immediately and it will be played a lot in the time to come.
Thanks to Jerry, Gerry and Pat and everyone else involved for this labour of love!
