Fairport Convention, Acoustically Down Under,
LP Talking Elephant 1996
- TELP081
This "volume two" from the
Woodworm archives is in fact an "unplugged" from the 1996 Australian
tour. On this occasion, without drummer Dave Mattacks, Fairport appear
as an acoustic quartet: Simon Nicol, Dave Pegg, Ric Sanders and Martin
Allcock. For the occasion Swarbrick, who was living in Australia at the
time, will be the "special guest" in "Rosie". The band is truly in top
form and the album is therefore unmissable for fans. The computerized
photographs of Australia for the cover are the work of Ian and Ethel
MacKay. The booklet text is written by Ian Burgess.
Questo "volume
secondo" degli
archivi Woodworm è di fatto un "unplugged" del tour
australiano del 1996. In questa occasione, privi del batterista Dave
Mattacks, i Fairport si presentano in quartetto acustico: Simon Nicol,
Dave Pegg, Ric Sanders e Martin Allcock. Per l'occasione Swarbrick, che
in quel periodo abitava proprio in australia, sarà lo
"special guest" in "Rosie". Abbiamo a che fare con una band davvero in
forma smagliante e il disco è dunque imperdibile per gli
appassionati. Le fotografie dell'Australia computerizzate per la
copertina sono opera di Ian e Ethel MacKay. Il testo del booklet
è scritto da Ian Burgess.
