Simply Vinyl are extremely proud to present on 180 gram vinyl the classic fourth album by Fairport Convention ‘Liege & Lief’ – an album that stands as one of the finest and most influential British Folk–Rock albums of all time – an Award rightly bestowed on the album in 2006.
This line-up of Fairport Convention – Sandy Denny, Richard Thompson, Dave Swarbrick, Ashley Hutchings, Simon Nicol and Dave Mattacks – had come together after the tragic death in a tour bus crash of their drummer Martin Lamble (along with Richard Thompson’s girlfriend Jeannie Franklyn).
The creation of ‘Liege & Lief’ saw the band’s grief focused in an outstanding album. ‘Liege & Lief’ introduced a large new audience to the beauty of British folk and still stands today as the definitive British folk-rock album.
An essential addition to any collection of the best albums ever in any genre.
