Fairport Convention - Walk Awhile - BBC Sessions, Volume 4: 1970

Well, things have gotten pretty crazy really fast with the coronavirus. I hope everyone is keeping safe and practicing social distancing. This crisis is the real deal and not just hype, so please act accordingly. That said, life goes on, and I plan to keep on posting as usual.

Which brings us to some more Fairport Convention. I recently posted a stray tracks album of the band for 1970. This is also from 1970, but it's the band performing for the BBC. They played so many songs for the BBC that I've broken things into two albums. This one covers the first half of 1970 only.

For this album, all of the songs come from the "Live at the BBC" album. (It's a different story with the second 1970 album.) Thus, there's no problem with the sound quality at all.

Well, almost. The song "The Deserter" has also been officially released, on a different archival album. But the sound quality for that one is significantly worse than the rest, so I've only included it as a bonus track.
