1	Liege & Lief [Deluxe Edition] (2007) more music like this by Fairport Convention In the decades since its original release, more than one writer has declared Fairport Convention's Liege & Lief the definitive British folk-rock album, a distinction it holds at least in part because it grants equal importance to all three parts of that formula. While Fairport had begun dipping their toes into British traditional folk with their ... see all copies from £13.40! new only from £13.40!
2	Liege & Lief (1969) more music like this by Fairport Convention In the decades since its original release, more than one writer has declared Fairport Convention's Liege & Lief the definitive British folk-rock album, a distinction it holds at least in part because it grants equal importance to all three parts of that formula. While Fairport had begun dipping their toes into British traditional folk with their ... see all copies from £6.45! new only from £7.28!
3	Unhalfbricking (1969) more music like this by Fairport Convention Unhalfbricking was, if only in retrospect, a transitional album for the young Fairport Convention, in which the group shed its closest ties to its American folk-rock influences and started to edge toward a more traditional British folk-slanted sound. That shift wouldn't be definitive until their next album, Liege & Lief. But the strongest link to ... see all copies from £4.41! new only from £11.74!
4	Meet on the Ledge: The Classic Years (1967-1975) (1999) more music like this by Fairport Convention Fairport Convention have had their fair share of anthologies, but the double-disc set Meet on the Ledge: The Classic Years (1967-1975) is arguably the best yet, rivaling the classic Fairport Chronicles, which was released just as the classic lineup was splitting apart. Meet on the Ledge is more exhaustive than that collection, and it also boasts a ... see all copies from £8.09! new only from £9.01!
5	Jewel in the Crown (1995) more music like this by Fairport Convention On their first album in five years, Fairport Convention, which now boasts a steady lineup (nearly a decade together!) for the first time in its history, carries on two traditions. The shorter-term one is the tradition of Fairport itself, a band intended to blend contemporary rock with folk, often in the form of work by current singer/songwriters, ... see all copies from £3.38! new only from £13.31!
6	Live at the BBC (2007) more music like this by Fairport Convention Is a four-CD box set of Fairport Convention 1967-1974 BBC recordings excessive? After all, even the Beatles only got two CDs of Beeb tracks into official release. But it really isn't too much for fans of the band, for the quality of most of the stuff here is truly good, even if the very best of it was already issued on the Heyday compilation. ... see all copies from £25.27! new only from £56.90!
7	Moat on the Ledge: Live at Broughton Castle [Eagle] (2007) more music like this by Fairport Convention Fairport Convention officially disbanded in 1979, only to become the hosts of a yearly folk festival/reunion concert every August in England. This album is taken from their August 15, 1981 show, featuring core original Fairport members Simon Nicol and Richard Thompson plus original female singer Judy Dyble, plus later members Dave Swarbrick, Dave ... see all copies from £5.45! new only from £5.45!
8	What We Did On Our Holidays [UK Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Fairport Convention Sandy Denny's haunting, ethereal vocals gave Fairport a big boost on her debut with the group. A more folk-based album than their initial effort, What We Did on Our Holidays was divided between original material and a few well-chosen covers. This contains several of their greatest moments: Denny's "Fotheringay," Richard Thompson's "Meet on the ... see all copies from £7.39! new only from £7.39!
9	History of Fairport Convention (1972) more music like this by Fairport Convention Originally a double album, this 18-song CD is a good selection of the better songs recorded by the group from What We Did on Our Holidays thru Babbacombe Lee, including "Sailor's Life," "Who Knows Where the Time Goes," "Meet On the Ledge," "Si Tu Dois Partir," "Matty Groves," "Sloth," and "Angel Delight." It's no substitute for any of the albums ... see all copies from £15.54! new only from £15.54!
10	House Full [Bonus Tracks] (2001) more music like this by Fairport Convention Recorded during Fairport Convention's September 1970 shows in Los Angeles (their second visit to the city in six months), House Full captures the four-piece Full House lineup at its zenith -- a point proven by the marathon renditions of "Sloth" and "Matty Groves," which are among its epic highlights. Anybody who thought Sandy Denny was the only ... see all copies from £5.15! new only from £5.15!
11 view cover	Angel Delight [Bonus Track] (2004) more music like this by Fairport Convention Delight is the word for the 2004 remastering of Angel Delight -- the new digital transfer gives the voices and instruments on the opening track, "Lord Marlborough," almost a live presence, and the disc gets better from there; you can practically hear the action on the instruments throughout this CD, and if that's not enticement enough, then a ... see all copies from £13.52! new only from £13.52!
12 view cover	Nine [Germany Bonus Tracks] (2005) more music like this by Fairport Convention Nine was never going to be more than a fair album with some great moments, but this expanded version of Fairport Convention's ninth album is superior to the original edition, the bonus tracks all adding a measure of excitement and energy that was lacking in long stretches of that original. The nine core tracks still have the same problems of ... see all copies from £10.48! new only from £10.48!
13 view cover	Rising for the Moon [Germany Bonus Tracks] (2005) more music like this by Fairport Convention Although there's nothing on Rising for the Moon as overpowering as "Sailor's Life" or "Sloth," this record is still a choice release, as it marks Sandy Denny's official return to Fairport. She wrote or co-wrote seven of the 11 songs on the original album, and dominates most of the others with her voice. This lineup (Denny, Dave Swarbrick, Dave ... see all copies from £7.42! new only from £7.42!
14 view cover	Unhalfbricking [UK Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Fairport Convention Unhalfbricking was, if only in retrospect, a transitional album for the young Fairport Convention, in which the group shed its closest ties to its American folk-rock influences and started to edge toward a more traditional British folk-slanted sound. That shift wouldn't be definitive until their next album, Liege & Lief. But the strongest link to ... see all copies from £4.96! new only from £4.96!
15 view cover	Fairport Convention [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Fairport Convention By far the most rock-oriented of Fairport Convention's early albums, this debut was recorded before Sandy Denny joined the band (Judy Dyble handles the female vocals). Unjustly overlooked by listeners who consider the band's pre-Denny output insignificant, this is a fine folk-rock effort that takes far more inspiration from West Coast '60s sounds ... see all copies from £13.52! new only from £13.52!
16 view cover	Full House [UK Bonus Tracks] (2001) more music like this by Fairport Convention The original album is remastered in 24-bit digital audio and reissued in England with five bonus tracks, including "Poor Will & the Jolly Hangman," which had been intended for the original release but yanked at the last moment; the accompanying single, "Now Ne Thankful," in both its original mono version and a newly mixed stereo version; its ... see all copies from £6.65! new only from £6.65!
17 view cover	Liege & Lief [Bonus Tracks] (2002) more music like this by Fairport Convention In the decades since its original release, more than one writer has declared Fairport Convention's Liege & Lief the definitive British folk-rock album, a distinction it holds at least in part because it grants equal importance to all three parts of that formula. While Fairport had begun dipping their toes into British traditional folk with their ... see all copies from £10.14! new only from £10.14!
18 view cover	Red & Gold (1988) more music like this by Fairport Convention Though their most famous albums were over a decade past by the late '80s, Fairport Convention was still releasing albums that were good enough to convert new listeners. Red & Gold is a case in point, an assured and enjoyable album of the band's trademark mix of English folk and rock. Simon Nicol's vocal on the title cut is worth the price of the ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £2.73!
19 view cover	From Cropredy to Portmeirion (2002) more music like this by Fairport Convention Nearly an hour of Fairport Convention recorded live on their 1990 British winter tour, in excellent sound and generally in superb form. Though the tour preceded the release of The Five Seasons, there's nothing anticipating that album in the repertory presented here -- rather, most of the songs are drawn from Gladys' Leap and, to a lesser degree, ... see all copies from £4.10! new only from £4.10!
20 view cover	XXXV (2002) more music like this by Fairport Convention Neither fish nor foul, Fairport Convention holds a position somewhere between traditional English and contemporary Celtic music. Although mostly acoustic, electric bass and piano make appearances, and while the bandmembers enjoy the folk songs of yesteryear, they also pen new material. The band's approach and style also separate them from the folk ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £13.57!
21 view cover	Before the Moon (2002) more music like this by Fairport Convention So titled because, chronologically speaking, it immediately predates 1975's Rising for the Moon album, Before the Moon is a two-CD recounting of two nights in Denver, CO, in 1974, with Sandy Denny back in the Fairport fold for the first time in five years. Historically, then, it ranks as one of the key documents of the band's 1970s history, both ... see all copies from £11.82! new only from £11.82!
22 view cover	What We Did on Our Holidays (1969) more music like this by Fairport Convention Sandy Denny's haunting, ethereal vocals gave Fairport a big boost on her debut with the group. A more folk-based album than their initial effort, What We Did on Our Holidays was divided between original material and a few well-chosen covers. This contains several of their greatest moments: Denny's "Fotheringay," Richard Thompson's "Meet on the ... see all copies from £7.51! new only from £11.10!

24 view cover	Tippler's Tales (1978) more music like this by Fairport Convention Tippler's Tales is not a concept album, even though alcohol is a recurrent motif in many of the traditional numbers like "Three Drunken Maidens" and "John Barleycorn." (Even the instrumentals get in on the act, with titles like "The Bottom of the Punch Bowl" and "Hair of the Dogma.") But despite appearances, Tippler's Tales is really just the post ... see all copies from £7.15! new only from £10.47!
25 view cover	The Wood and the Wire (2000) more music like this by Fairport Convention There's no doubt that Fairport Convention chose the right man for the job upon Martin Allcock's departure after Old-New-Borrowed-Blue (1996). His replacement, Chris Leslie (Whippersnapper and Albion Band), has assumed an obvious leadership position within this legendary band. He either wrote or co-wrote (with writing partner Nigel Stonier) nine of ... see all copies from £5.61! new only from £12.09!
