I think a new tread is in order!
Hmmm, very very interesting. The picture's right and the reviews are right, but that track listing is completely wrong!
Brain teaser then - what album is that the track listing for??
I just had a quick look at Talking Elephant but couldn't find it on there... Any more ideas anyone?
Here's the right one http://shopping.yahoo.com/p:Before%20Your%20Time%2FConsonant%20Please%20Carol:1921276211 |

There's the clue then - check out Voiceprint Records - not Talking Elephant....

Well done internet-searching bots!! Who're Voiceprint? (not that it really matters, they're obviously an online CD-selling setup like so many others) and what's this "Close To The Wind" thing then?  |

Who're Voiceprint?
Didn't they spring out of / are connected with Road Goes on Forever Records? |

I assume it's the wonderful album of the same name by Swarbrick and Nicol. Their two original albums were released as a 2-on-1 as "Close To The White Bear" which I think had a track or two missing to make it all fit. I believe that "Close To The Wind" was released in its own right. Or it may be the Fairport compilation of the same name. |

Just because you believe something doesn't make it true.

Those are more interesting theories than I had come up with...
The reason I asked was because it leads to precisely nothing (well nothing useful) on the Voiceprint website, so I figured it was something to do with the song "Close to the Wind" that had escaped somehow in someone's mind and made its way into the listings without actually being anything one could buy...
I'll have to look into the FC compilation thing - it's not one I'd heard of before. But that's not really surprising, there are seemingly millions of compilations and reprints and re-releases and so on. I can't hope to keep up with them all, even with the excellent assistance of various websites!

I think Barry ment that DVD audio thingy that was released a few years back. If you didn't Barry, then there's another possiblity. |

Barry is quite correct, the link from Ollie gives a release date for Close to the Wind as 1984 so it does refer to the outing with Swarb - jolly good it is to. Jackdaw |

And I think (I'm away from home so can't check) that Simon wears a very fetching/loud red (tartan?) jacket on the cover shot... must have a look later.

And my favourite discography when it comes to anything Fairportish: http://www.fcfansite.fsnet.co.uk/I've never been disappointed when looking for information about Fairport's musical output under the band name. |

The "Close to the Wind" on Amazon is listed as DVD Audio from 2004 and is tracks from "Red and Gold" and "The Five Seasons."
"Close to the White Bear" is only available through their Marketplace for £49.95!
I thought I had managed to secure it at a more reasonable price a few years ago, when I ordered it from Atrax/Artax?, but unfortunately that closed down before I got my copy. The cheque disappeared (it was never cashed, I hasten to add), so I imagined the order lying somewhere on a disused doormat until thrown away. One day I'll get to hear it...

Yes, I wonder what ever happened to Alex Mowbray?
Swarb decided to take his merch in-house after his operation, at least I think it was afterwards....and Alex had to close down.
He's definitely honourable, so I guess he'd have ripped up your cheque.

I believe (but not sure) he's one of the admins on Longdogs. Certainly recognise the name from that neck o'the woods. Edit: Just checked and it is him. He has a website - http://www.alexmowbray.com |
