Description: | â??Fairport Convention", das ein Jahr nach der Gründung der Band veröffentlicht wurde, ist ihr Debütalbum und gilt weithin als ein Stück Geschichte des ursprünglichen Sounds von Fairport Convention. Bevor Sandy Denny zur Band stieÃ?, konzentrierte sich ihr Stil auf einen psychedelisch angehauchten Westcoast-Rock, der mit einigen vom Jazz inspirierten Passagen kombiniert wurde. Sie schufen Acid-Jazz-Rock-Klassiker mit atemberaubender Gitarrenarbeit ("It's Alright Ma, It's Only Witchcraft") von Richard Thompson und umwerfend reinem Gesang ("Portfolio") von Judy Dyble.
Sie verbreiten eine wunderbar melancholische Stimmung, die nach Meinung vieler nicht genug gewürdigt wird, und bilden einen interessanten Kontrast zu ihrem Post-Transformations-Sound. - + 4 BONUS TRACKSReissue. Digitally remastered and expanded edition. Originally released one year after forming the band, 'Fairport Convention' is their debut album and widely recognized as a piece of history of Fairport Convention's origin sound. Before Sandy Denny joined, their style focused on a psychedelic infected Westcoast rock combined with some jazz inspired passages. Creating acid-jazz-rock classics with breathtaking guitar work ("It's Alright Ma, It's Only Witchcraft") from Richard Thompson and stunning pure vocals ("Portfolio") from Judy Dyble. They set a wonderfully fetching melancholic mood that many feel they didn't get enough credit for and gives an interesting contrast to their post transformation sound.Original Album released in 1968 as Polydor 583 035.
