Also agreed on all counts. I have the same love/hate with the Free Reed sets but minor gripes aside it is mostly love. The Hutchings set was maybe the worst in terms of sequencing and Cropredy Chronicles the worst for typeface font and color but so many wonderful photos and little side notes in all of them that I cherish. Also to be fair, boxsets looked different 20 + years ago. I wonder if we’ve had a boxset thread here before…not regarding the music, but purely on the design, sequencing, bonus goodies, etc?

Re:box sets. I think that the Jethro Tull 40 yr box sets are the gold standard in terms of quality, layout and information. As others have said, the Free Reed sets are more akin to bootlegs, and I’m not a huge fan of the harem-scarem approach to sequencing. Still enjoy them, though!

I've not seen them in the flesh, but I've seen YouTube videos ahowing those sets in full, and they do look outstanding.

Yep, very impressive.  They never feel like they're about to fall apart which a lot of the earlier 'book' style boxes used to (the Pentangle one etc.).

So, a couple of weeks before we usually get the first acts for Cropredy - any ideas yet?

I suggest Trevor Horn is a given but anyone else?

F(A)C, FC and Digance.  Beyond that, it's all (normally mostly totally unrealistic) expectation, isn't it? Wink

I don't know, but since Calan have just announced they are breaking up, I'd love to see them one more time on that stage.  I'd also love to see the Peatbog Faeries and/or Blackbeard's Tea Party appearing again.

Or indeed, in honour of their recent triumph in the UK Tree of the Year competition, maybe Skippinish: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/oct/29/scotlands-ancient-skipinnish-oak-wins-uk-tree-of-the-year

Another live CD just released "Live 1970" so it's the Full House line up , double CD
came out 25th October on Homespun label

 Recordings taken from Fillmore East, New York, NYC June 10th 1970 WNEW-FM, Fillmore East, New York, NYC June 12th 1970 WNEW-FM, Old Pool Farm, Schwenksville, PA Philadelphia Folk Festival 29th August 1970 Syndicated Radio

Track listing shows 2 x Tam Lin's , but no Matty Groves which must be unusual omission for a live Fairport CD, especially a double

The Philly Folk at least has been released before, hasn't it?  What's the quality like?
