Title: Cheap Fairport CDs in Fopp! Post by: Mark Donmall on June 23, 2008, 02:19:14 PM If you have any gaps in your Fairport CD collection, Fopp in Covent Garden has a number of CDs at £3.00 including Unhalfbricking, Full House and Nine. Also virtually all of Sandy Denny and Richard and Linda Thompson's Island albums at same price.

I shall be working up in town near Covent Garden tomorrow and am after the Sandy discs (I may also replace some of my aging Fairport discs as I have the versions without the bonus tracks). Whereabouts in Covent Garden is the shop Mark?

However, I have just discovered that Play.com have all of the Sandy discs for £2.99 each including delivery! :)

My early Fairport CDs date mainly from the late '90s/early '00s before the superdooper ones appeared and are those lovely rustic Island Masters - one sheet of paper as the sleeve, spelling mistakes on the track listing and all!

Post by: PLW (Peter) on July 04, 2008, 12:52:25 PM Well spotted - I was in there last week and picked up four albums I didn't have on CD - Unhalf, Nine, Grassman and Heyday. Marvellous! :)

They had FC there as well. I picked up House Full for £3. I haven't heard this one before, there's some cracking playing on it. ronnie Title: Re: Cheap Fairport CDs in Fopp!
