The Broadcast Album 1968-1970 Vinyl

Now available at a new low price in August. In this release we navigate the uncharted waters of Fairport Conventions 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, Richard Farina and Bob Dylan, but delivered these covers in increasingly extended electric versions, becoming Englands answer to Jefferson Airplane. Within two years the band evolved into the primemovers of British electric folkrock, mixing electrified traditional songs with outstanding original material provided mainly by Sandy Denny and Richard Thompson.
