FORTHERINGAY 6339 010 (-70) GERMANY

A project initiated by Sandy Denny after she left Fairport Convention to get more room for her self-penned material. It gathered Trevor Lucas and Gary Convey from folk rock band Eclection plus Jerry Donahue and Pat Donaldson earlier in Poet And The One Man Band. The constellation didn't last more than a year, after which she went solo and Trevor Lucas and Jerry Donahue joined Faiport Covention, which she also did again 1974 (for more on all this check band page link). So it may have a different billing and members, but for me it's so close to FC at the time I can hardly tell them apart. This less folky and musically maybe a litte more tame, but same kind of touching songs and lots of the lovely Sandy Denny. Her numbers is what make this LP for me and then especially "The Sea" and "The Bank Of The Nile" - both intimate like a sweet caress . To my taste as a whole maybe not the best with the lady in charge, but as a devoted fan I take all by her I can get. Issued and reissued all over the world on cassette, vinyl and CD through the years. Premiere UK on pink Island (ILPS 9125). US on A&M (SP 4269). Japan 2005 CD (Island UICY 9535) came with seven bonus tracks. First German had label as shown here and laminated fold/out cover. (FÄHZ*) (GÖXÄ*) (ÖSÄP*)
