Would love these (at about 10% of what's being asked for them).
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FAIRPORT-CONVENTION-3-UNPUBLISHED-LIVE-PHOTOS-TAKEN-BY-A-FAN-AT-MAIDSTONE-1970/372035579146?hash=item569f0c6d0a:g:uY8AAOSwbl5ZhZ7g
Do have a look at the seller's other material. Quite hilarious. Can't believe they ever sell a bloody thing at those prices. The feedback suggests otherwise. Dear oh dear.

£157+
Divide it by a hundred and free postage and maybe your about a quid more than the actual value.
That's just taking the mick

Apart from the ridiculous price asked for these photo's, I found it interesting to see Dave Pegg playing (what looks to be) a Höfner bass. The type made famous by Paul McCartney. Never saw him playing one on any other photo, film or video.

That’s not what the photograph shows.

This was my 1st Fairport gig. The ticket stub is from a college gig in the same park but not for this one. I have the same ticket stub & I think it was from one in the mid 70's. It might be from the version that only played a few gigs when Maidstone was the 1st date.
I might offer £5 for the photo's!

Crikey , just seen on the US Ebay site
Fairport Convention Gottle O'Geer Waterproof Custom Shower Curtain 60x72 Inch
I think I saw one with "From Past Archives" on it too wasn't that an unofficial release (I can't keep up with the issuing of Fairport compilations) , the still photo from their TOTP appearance for the hit single
How crazy is that...
Fairport shower curtains
Must have built up a heck of a Chinese following over the years
Now had it been the Unhalfbricking sleeve....oh don't tell me
Edit: This post had changed the subject line & it's in an old dead topic. Never do that. I've changed it back.

The bottom photo isn’t even Fairport. I think it’s Matthew’s Southern Comfort.
