Fairport Convention, Who Knows Where the Time Goes?
UK Woodworm Records WRCD 025 (June 1997) - USA Green Linnet Records GLCD 3122 (January 1998)
I Fairport non cessano di stupire: cambia ancora la formazione, con Chris Leslie a sostituire Martin Alcock, ma non cambia la qualità del prodotto. Questo nuovo cd contiene brani incantevoli a cominciare da "Dangerous" (di Kristina Olsen) fino alla energica "Spanish main" e il traditional "The Golden Glove". Il cd si conclude con due live. La grafica "noir" della confezione è un po' da incubo, ma il booklet corredato dalle fotografie di Phil Starling è completo e ordinato. La versione "picture" pubblicata dalla Folkprint in sole mille copie si avvale dei disegni di Andy Price e dell'orologio disegnato da Mike Toole.
