Available for mp3 download on Amazon, if you like that kind of thing. I'm a CD sort of guy myself but at least Amazon give you little tasters of each track - sounds pretty good!

That looks to be worth the price for Sloth alone.

I ordered it through Talking Elephant, thinking we weren't going to make it to Cropredy - so no signed copy for me  Act in haste, repent at leisure etc. PS We are going to Cropredy after all so maybe it will be waiting for me when I return and will help to ofset that "oh dear, it's all over for this year" feeling. |

Give Talking Eklephant a call - ask if they've already despatched your copy - if they haven't, ask if you can pick it up at their stall with suitable ID - take it to the signing & get it signed!

Never know when you might need it! Seriously ... a good idea Chris, I will take your advice. Thanks |

Got mine at Talking Elephant and got it signed by the great men - nearly missing the Richard Digance "Morris Dancing" in the process. Added to my music streaming system last night and partially listened to at the time. Will have to have a proper listen over the weekend.
The photos inside take me back to seeing them playing in a pub (can't for the life of me remember where) somewhere around this time.

Have had so many CDs delivered this week I am struggling to listen to them all. Just listened to this for the first time. Even though the sound isn't brilliant on some tracks what a good CD. Some great playing by both Swarb and Simon. A lovely mix of songs, styles and tempo, plus some humorous ones thrown in to the mix for good measure. Was in another room for "The Dogs They Had A Party" and had to replay to make sure I had heard what I thought I had. I had.
Another CD that gets my thumbs up.

Have just listened to this.
Patchy sound quality renders it more of a curio than essential listening but Simon's playing on Sloth makes me think the song could and should be rehabilitated by the current Fairport line up. Solos from Simon (acoustic), Peggy, Ric & Chris (mandolin). That would be splendid I think.
Pretty please Simon?

Well, my many of my favourite Sloths come from the 4 piece early 80s lineup (either Bruce or DM, Peggy, Simon and Swarb) so im sure these guys could cut it wonderfully. Chris on the fiddle though please. |
