Fairport Convention, Come All Ye: The First Ten Years Universal
574 847-9 (7 CD, UK, July 28, 2017) Uno
straordinario cofanetto che comprende ben sette cd e oltre cinquanta
inediti, un'opera monumentale compilata da Andrew Batt in seguito a un
paziente lavoro di ricerca. Tutto il progetto è coordinato
da Joe Black per le edizioni Universal. Particolarmente
interessant e è il disco 6 che comprende il concerto integrale
che il gruppo ha tenuto al Fairfield Hall nel Dicembre del 1973:
come questo concerto sia fino a oggi rimasto inedito è davvero
un mistero. Molto bella ed elegante è anche la confezione
disegnata da Phil Smee e la Waldo's Design. Le
illustrazioni di copertina sono pera di Rupert Lloyd e della Diablo
Pixels. Il testo del booklet è stato scritto da Patrick
Humphries. Tracks
