Your best bet is to talk another company (Talking Elephant or some such like) into purchasing the rights from them & putting it out.
I tried that a few months ago, with no response. Prehaps if lots of people e-mailed and asked, we might get somewhere. It also may be worth doing the same at FC's end. Well I'm game! Have you got the email address to hand, Ollie? Jules |

Oh Golly,
All this potential talk for the possible releasing of the AT2 & The Boot & The Other Boot & The Third Leg material.. If they are to be released again in the future please, please do not make them an limited edition set with extra stuff. I purchased all the aforementioned on Tapes in the 80's and again on CD when woodworm released them thereafter, I'd rather not purchase them again.
At some point in time I intend to sell my three boots, AT2 and my original Airing cupboard Tapes cassette but as I do not know my way around ebay has any one got any real idea as to how much the above is realistically worth? (I know there is a question of how much some one is prepared to pay for an item, but a ball park figure may be useful)

No need for extra tracks, I just want the releases as they were. Unless of course AT2 and The Other Boot were expanded to become complete shows. Surely that would be worth another cash outlay?

About 2 or 3 years ago, I found exc quality copies of AT2/The Boot and Other Boot/Third Leg - the CD sets that is. I had (have) them myself, but found them at a CD fair for something crazy like 15 Euros each. I then put them on eBay, knowing quite well these were wanted (and I needed some dosh so that was handy). I remember the latter went to $150 or so and the former to a very staggering $300(ish). There were many bidders, not just two against each other. Admittedly based on how high it gets on eBay doesn't really tell you there's a market for a rerelease, but I think there is one. At the time when these came out around 2000/2001 it was said that it was a one off limited release ... and that's an argument against a rerelease, but then again a few years later the bulk of Other Boot/Third Leg popped up as another release (Quiet Joys of Brotherhood I think) ... so what is the initial "promise" of a limited edition worth?
If they do another limited run of 1,000 of AT2/Boot and Other Boot/Leg I assume they'll do many people a favour. That said, I have no idea about the logistics/copyrights involved of course! ...

I think we all know the answer to that one...  |

the tracks off the boots/3rd leg have appeared on countless numbers of those ropey cd's which usually have a photo of an early incarnation of the band
if you look on expletive delighted they are all catalogued to the nth degree

Good grief! The Other Boot/The Third Leg 3CD set on Woodworm went to a record 185 quid just now (US$ 377!) on eBay. The 4CD AT2/The Boot to 78 pounds (US$ 159), by the same (UK-based) seller. Odd that - the latter seems more interesting, given the more recent (part-)repackaging of some of the former. I kept these in my watched-items list just to see how it would go and constantly the bid for AT2/Boot was higher, but in the last seconds Other Boot/Third Leg "won" hands down and ended with that whopping high bid.
So, two Fairport "companion" CD sets went to over US$ 500 altogether. Me, I am off to invent a time machine so I can get back to Cropredy 2000/2001 and buy a truckload of 'em - and not just one each, as I foolishly did back then. I better put my copies in a safe.

It will be interesting to see how much this one goes for in 7 days time.

Don't spend it all at once, Malcolm Not a bad price but only about a third of what it went for at its very peak a few years back. I'm not sure why, but I find that a little interesting.... |

Sorry, am i being thick -- I followed the link and can't see what we're supposed to be looking at.
I remember trying to buy these -- back when I still cared about new and unusual Fairport stuff. Has anyone heard it? Is it any good?

Hey! My Fairport 25th Anniversary boxed set, dating from the days when people din't know what a boxed set was, so it just came out as 4CDs in a box, is worth £60. Mine's near mint, so I could ask for more. If I wanted to sell it, which I don't as I reckon the CDs beat silly remasters.

Yes. And yes. I bought The Boot at my first Cropredy ('84) so I really love it. A.T.2 I didn't hear til a decade or more later, but it's fab...the Trevor stuff is particularly fine. Gutted I never saw him live (missed '86 too). |
