Fairport Convention Fairport Convention CD

Reissue. Digitally remastered and expanded edition. Originally released one year after forming the band, 'Fairport Convention' is their debut album and widely recognized as a piece of history of Fairport Convention's origin sound. Before Sandy Denny joined, their style focused on a psychedelic infected Westcoast rock combined with some jazz inspired passages. Creating acid-jazz-rock classics with breathtaking guitar work ("It's Alright Ma, It's Only Witchcraft") from Richard Thompson and stunning pure vocals ("Portfolio") from Judy Dyble. They set a wonderfully fetching melancholic mood that many feel they didn't get enough credit for and gives an interesting contrast to their post transformation sound.
