US variation of the UK "What We Did On Our Holidays" https://monolover.blogspot.com/2017/01/fairport-conventionwhat-we-did-on-our.html . The bands second LP, first with Sandy Denny and the first of three by the outfit that would help to set a pattern for much of the UK folk rock that flourished in the seventies. For more on the album itself please check the link above, here I'm more interested in what differ the both issues. While the UK sleeve has a kind of arty doodle front with a live pic on rear the front here has an exclusive and very lovely group image where Denny looks so adorably huggable while the rear shows a rather dull medieval drawing of a city. It's the same tracking though the audio differs. The US is cut louder and gives a wider impression throughout while the UK is more down to earth with a bit more clarity. Both come good in their own ways so I guess what one perfer is down to personality ...or just mood. And cause the one I'm in now needs a bigger hug I go for the US. Apart from UK and US also issued in South Africa (Fontana STL 233). Australian release in both mono and stereo (Festival FL 33356/SFL 93356). Japan 2003 CD (Island UICY-20056) came with three bonus tracks. First US had label as shown here is a glossy cover. (FÄHZ*) (YZÄ*) (FÄV*)
