Thanks Simon,
Must say it appears well produced and if the music is as good as the cover...
Will look forward to listening to it especially as I too am celebrating 40 glorious years this summer!
See you - and the rest at Cropredy

Some very rare Jude recordings and the best performance of One Sure Thing. Fantastic. What's it like listening to your early stuff, Jude??

Ollie, it's really strange. I'm back where I was when I sang it. With all the open-mouthed amazement that goes with singing on the BBC! Because you heard really good bands singing on the radio and never thought that'd you'd be on there too! Coming out of the speakers! On the radio!!!! and with proper radio DJ's and allExciting times eh? Ooooh better go and have a cup of tea now................  Jude (sometimes I'm just too cool for my socks  ) |

Hi Simon,
Will you be selling the disks on the US tour? Or do you have a preference on how we buy them? Amazon, etc. I am very interested in this set and always hope the band gets a good cut. I'll finally get a live version of Lord Marlborough. Woo hoo.
Hopefully I'll see ya May 3rd in Berkeley.

I've just picked up my copy - I pre-ordered it from my local indie CD shop and they got it in early. It looks great, sounds terrific. It's actually f***ing jaw-droppingly good. In fact I'd say it was the best Fairport release I've ever had the pleasure to hear. It's essential stuff folks.
99 out of 100. Docked 1 star for using the bloody edited version of Journeyman's Grace!
Even the supposedly rougher sounding 4th disc sounds bloody good to my ears. BUY IT!

By the way Simon... I assume that at this vast temporal disjuncture there are no extant recordings of you lot (well, Richard) doing East-West?  I live (or rather ail quietly) in hope... |

This is from the Oxford English Dictionary (I was going to write OED but thought I might be adding another layer of confusion!) Blighty n noun British informal 1 Britain or England, as used by soldiers serving abroad in the First and Second World Wars. 2 military slang a wound suffered in the First World War, sufficiently serious to merit being shipped home to Britain. ORIGIN first used by soldiers in the Indian army; Anglo-Indian alteration of Urdu bilayati, wilayati 'foreign, European'. |

Ah, I thought he was referring to a specific online retailer that had "blighty" as its nickname.
Yes, I could order it from a uk retailer, but I imagine the shipping and handling charges would probably get the price up to at least the cduniverse price. I will investigate it though.
I'm still curious, if I wished to wait for an American distributer, how long would I have to wait? I suppose I should direct this question to Universal.
Cheers

Amazon.com have the release date as 12th April and cd.universe have the date as 24th April so I would think you won't have to wait too long |
