Title: Fairport Convention Gold
Post by: jamesiegang on February 01, 2008, 07:32:03 PM
In the March edition of Uncut there is a full page advert for Universal Music Catalogue mentioning this release.
"A 34 track 2CD collection of the Very Best of the Pioneering Folksters Fairport Convention"
Looking it up on Amazon it is the same track listing as the last compilation "Chronicles"
Wonder if there has been any re-mastering?
Of the 5 compilations on Universal/Island , the best is still 'Meet on the Ledge' from 1999 with the A&M compilation from the '70's also called Chronicles being a close runner-up.
Could Universal do any better?

The CD cover notes say that this is the same album as Chronicles - just the cover artwork has been changed.

Thanks for that...looks like the same has happened with John Martyn.

Saw it in a shop on Friday - it's definitely the same as Chronicles.
