Sometime around the late 80's early 1990's before I was associated with KZSU I listened to a show called "The Folk You Up Show" can't remember the DJ's name now but on his last show I called him up and I still remember one thing he said "if I have introduced anyone to the voice of Sandy Denny I have done something good". This CD is really good, wish there were more vocals by Sandy Denny.


British folk rock, recorded live at a club called Ebbets Field
in Denver Colorado May 23/24 1974. A nice introduction for those who are unfamiliar with Fairport Convention and the late Sandy Denny.
