Does anyone know where I can get a copy of Expletive Delighted! On CD? I have it on viynl and think that it' great, but can't put it onto my MP3 player. Cheers

It doesn't look good at the moment. Talking Elephant have re-released most of the albums from the Woodworm catalogue so I am guessing they will be getting round to this one too before too long. You could try e-mailing them.

HOWEVER... even though the CD is not currently available, HMV.co.uk currently have it as a download which would save your Mp3 problems. The whole album is £7.90 or 79p per track.

cheers

I've e-mailed Talking Elephant to see if it was possibe if they could re-release it. I also asked if there was an chance that AT2, The Boot, The Other Boot and The Thrid Leg (several Cropredy performaces, check out the Fairport Fanzine http://www.fcfansite.fsnet.co.uk/  for more info) would ever come out on CD.

If you are going for a download look at eMusic.com. They have "ED" on there and the tracks are only 0.20p or so depending on how many you subscribe for. They also have a lot of othere folk music on there. It is cheaper than hmv and itunes and IS legal.

And it's DRM free, I think it's a great service, I've discovered some fantastic stuff through emusic that I'd have been unlikely to hear otherwise.

The last three HAVE been out on CD (don't think AT2 ever has????) but only ltd releases of (I think) 1000.  Go for silly money on ebay (30-40 quid a set)..... It would be a no-brainer for whoever owns the rights to put them out again in a run of a few thousand.  AT2 is just wonderful.

AT2 was out in a limited set with The Boot on Woodworm. Similarly The Other Boot & The Third Leg were packaged together. All outstanding as you suggest. The accapella version of Woodstock on whichever set it was (I don't have them to hand) is one of the finest & most beautiful things to have ever been released under Fairport's name, though I believe it was actually Ian Matthews, Richard Thompson, Clive Gregson & Christine Collister.

2 of those (sorry, I don't know which ones) have been released in an edited form on the 'Quiet Joys of Brotherhood' album which came out a couple of years ago.

That contains the accapella Woodstock, and yes it is great!

I am not sure if this is permitted here but I will ask anyway.  I while back, 7 years to be precise, I had a car crash.  The car was written off and I emptied the car but forgot to empty the CD changer in the boot.  In said CD changer was disk 2 of the AT2/Boot set.  I have therefore, for the last 7 years had a three disk AT2/Boot set.

If anyone could copy to CD that missing disk it would be really appreciated.  I will of course cover CD and postage costs.  This does not feel like cheating anyone, I did buy it in the first place and cannot now replace it any other way.

If this is not permitted for any reason I will understand.
