Fairport Convention - Tunes My Mother Taught Me - BBC Sessions, Volume 5: Late 1970

I just posted an album dealing with Fairport Convention performing for the BBC in early 1970. This follows that up, with their BBC performances from late 1970.

The band's line-up was stable for all of 1970. The key personnel changes were that Sandy Denny left before the end of 1969, and Richard Thompson left right at the beginning of 1971. The band's sound was consistent throughout the year as well, focusing much more on traditional British folk music than before.

For the early 1970 BBC album, all of the songs came from the "Live at the BBC" box set. For this album, only two songs come from that. Three more come from other archival releases. That leaves three songs that are officially unreleased. But in terms of sound quality, those are about the same. To be honest, I suspect many of the officially released BBC performances are just releases of bootlegs anyway.

The album cover photo comes from a 1970 photo session. If you look carefully, you'll notice that it's the same photo session as the cover for the "Now Be Thankful" stray tracks collection I made. They're wearing the same clothes.
