Fairport Convention: Come All Ye – The First 10 Years. 7 CD Box Set released via UMC 28th July.  £55 from the tax dodgers.

July 28th sees the release of this lavish Fairport Convention CD box set, Come All Ye – The First 10 Years. Compiled by Andrew Batt, the curator of the very successful show, ‘The Lady – A Tribute To Sandy Denny’, which toured the UK in 2012, this collection celebrates Fairport’s first 10 years, beginning with their eponymous debut for Polydor in 1968, through all of their seminal albums for Island Records and finishing with tracks from their two albums for Vertigo, The Bonny Bunch of Roses and Tippers Tales.

Of the 121 tracks featured here, 55 are previously unreleased. Highlights include key tracks from all of their classic albums, single B-sides, BBC Radio Sessions, 5 songs from the French TV programme, ‘Pop 2’ (December 1970), 5 songs from the Television show, ‘The Man They Couldn’t Hang’ (1971) and the audio for an entire concert at The Fairfield Halls, Croydon (December 16th 1973) plus 2 songs recorded live for the Scottish Television programme, ‘Anne Lorne Gillies – The World of Music’ (1976). The set comes complete with liner notes by respected English writer, Patrick Humphries, author of many highly regarded books including,  ‘Nick Drake – The Biography’ ( Bloomsbury 1998 ), ‘Richard Thompson – The Biography’  ( Music Sales Ltd 1997 ) and ‘The Many Lives of Tom Waites’ (Omnibus Press 1989).

And reading that tracklist, the thing that most excites me is the prospect of finally having the non-edited BBC version of Journeyman's Grace with Richard on it!

Also, "A Sailor's Wife".  Heh heh heh.

Or £1 a track for the unreleased ones if you've got the rest, as I imagine many Talkawhilers will have.  Still good though.

Wow - looks good!  But out of my price at the moment, especially when I already have over half of it.  Will have to hope it comes down a bit.

There are just so many Fairport compilations, mostly recycling the same stuff, but in this case... where do I pay?  Undecided

I'm mad. Considering I've only played my Fairport Unconventional box a handful of times at best, and my Cropredy box is a virgin, I'm still considering this purchase.

I think it's something to do with renewing one's interest.

Same here really, although the Cropredy Capers box gets a good airing usually a couple of months before... err Cropredy... Roll Eyes

Tempting, but I think I've all the Fairport I need for now... Smiley

The latter is rather better than the former imho.

Spin advertising this for £44, though I would never order it from them. That is about the price I shall be looking for to reflect the percentage of the contents that I do not already own.

It'll go down, and possibly up again, at least once,  my guess is.
