I'll wade in here because to a large extent I agree. It is just the sound. I love Sandy but I tend to gravitate towards her solo records. Most of my favourite Fairport tracks and albums (notwithstanding One More Chance) are by the boy band line ups, maybe because they had only just fully developed their trademark sound and the style that I enjoy on Liege & Lief, after which Sandy left.

I really love Sandy's output with Fairport but apart from Liege and Lief I get the impression that when Sandy is singing it is HER and a band, rather than the more homogenuous vibe with Swarb, Richard, Simon, Chris or Trevor leading the vocal line.

There is a quote in the No More Sad Refrains biog to the effect that part of Sandy's decision to re-join Fairport was that she wanted to "feel part of something" and not just a solo singer with a backing band and also something along the lines of feeling comfortable in being a member of a band.  
Sorry if that's a bit garbled but I have not got the book to hand.

Having seen them play several times with Sandy in the band, I couldn't agree less. The "Live Convention" line-up: now, that was band!

I have to agree with you 100% there.

I like The stuff with Jude and Sandy, don't get me wrong, but I think most of the songs they perform sound better with an all male line-up(apart from things like rising for the moon).I much prefer both Sandy and Jude's solo work.

I tend to agree as well. For me it's mostly because over the year's Simon's voice has matured into one of the more expressive ones the band has ever had.

No I am not.  Why, does he share my love for early Fairport?
