Wouldn't it have been cool if the pairs of "wrong" letters on the hangman drawings had been SN, DP, CL, RS & GC?
Or maybe I'm missing something...

I love the design of the sleeve, I've not got it in front of me at the mo tho - do the missing letters spell anything?

Can't crack the code meself...
UR, TW, SH, PD, FK
on the Babbcombe Lee Live Again side and...
UH, SL, MW, DB, GY on the Fairport Convention side.
That's assuming, of course, that they're sets of pairs and not to be read vertically.

Apropos of nothing in particular I have a spare copy of the original vinyl album, including the leaflet and sticker which I’d prefer went to a good home rather than Discogs. It’s in good condition, however “Bobbie” was clearly the possessive sort and has written their name on pretty much all of the flat surfaces within. Ping me a DM if you’re interested and I’ll take this post away.

That literally made me lol Grin

A coincidence for me to see this old thread resurrected.

I've just sent for the Babbacombe Lee live record.

I was playing it just last week. I love the studio album but Live Again is a great listen too.

Yep, love them both as well. There are some really tight moments on Live Again that are better than the original album IMHO. Some of that is helped by being a five piece instead of the four piece that recorded the album. But the original has a real feel to it and the crossfade between songs helps.
