Fairport Convention - The Broadcast Album 1968-1970 - Vinyl LP

Condition: New product

Label:

EAN/Barcode: 5060331752844

In this release we navigate the uncharted waters of Fairport Convention's early voyages across the UK, European and American airwaves. Fairport initially focused on covers of future classics by US/Canadian singer-songwriters such as Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan, but delivered these in increasingly extended electric versions, becoming England's answer to Jefferson Airplane.
