Fairport Convention - One Sure Thing - BBC Sessions, Volume 1: 1967-1968

I'm posting this second Fairport Convention album immediately after the other one I just posted to hopefully make clear my approach on dealing with the band's non-album tracks. That album contains all their songs that didn't appear on any of their official studio albums, including some BBC performances. This album makes up all their other BBC performances.

The first half of this album is from when July Dyble was the band's main singer. From the seventh track onwards ("She Moves through the Fair"), the rest of the songs have Sandy Denny as the band's main singer.

Actually, not all the songs on this album are BBC performances. I've added a few song demos here too, because I couldn't think of a better place to put them. The first two songs are demos by Judy Dyble. The seventh track (mentioned above) plus the last two are acoustic or demo versions by Sandy Denny.

All the songs here have been officially released, so the sound is great. And the performances are excellent too.

I'll continue this approach, with more albums of unique non-album songs, plus other albums of BBC performances, soon.

Good color photos of Fairport Convention in their early years are harder to find than hen's teeth. This isn't a great photo of the band - Sandy Denny isn't even in view - but it is of them from 1969.
