I seem to recall I sold AT2/The Boot on eBay once for about $250. This is something like 8 years ago; a copy I found by chance on a Dutch 2nd hand internet marketplace.
But then I had it again about 2 years ago and it went for maybe $50. Funny, that: as far as investments go it's not a good idea ;-)
There was a copy sold on a charity stall on the Cropredy field last year for a fiver.  Jules |

With Fairport's permission, I remain able to make copies of AT2/The Boot/The Other Boot available for those who will commit to a charitable contribution equal to the cost of the albums were they available in the shops.
If anyone wants this, IM me.

The DVD is a filmed interview with Simon and Peggy.Could be from anywhere/when but my guess is it's from the In Real Time/It All Comes Round Again videos.Just a guess though.
Personally I'd avoid all those other comps,I don't think there's anything that's not on a regular album.

Its a more recent interview, conducted about the time the Quiet Joys Of Brotherhood set came out....say 2004 or so. And I agree with Mike, the multitude of comps would best be avoided unless it winds up being the only way you can get songs from the 80's-90's missing from your collection.

If anyone is interested, I just saw that the U.S. Amazon site has a used copy of the Cropredy '98 Woodworm CD for under $25. I have been hunting a copy for the past couple of years and just bought one myself last week. There were only 1000 of these ever released and for the price - you really can't beat it.

Really? Only 1000? I didn't know that. Fortunately I have a copy. Great version of Easy To Slip. |

But, the DVD didn't have Easy To Slip, along with a few others that were only issued on this disc. Always liked the CD cover as well. Tough one to find! |

Got a copy too - I once told Chris While after a gig what a great version of Easy To Slip that was and how it was a nice change for the Sandy slot to contain some of her rockier moments and to hear some Little Feat at Cropredy.She told me to speak to Helen Watson who was supporting Chris and Julie,because she had actually sung with them,which I didn't know.I also didn't know,of course, that the real Little Feat would play at Cropredy some years later.

Picked up a cheap copy of The Quiet Joys of Brotherhood and watched the interview DVD last evening. It is an hour long interview of Simon and Peggy conducted by Jet Martin Celmins (who some will know as a blues guitarist and author of the Peter Green bio, who still opens for Peter Green & Friends on occasion) at Woodworm Studios, Christmastime, 2002. It is a fairly standard interview but thoroughly interesting nonetheless. I always enjoy listening to Simon & Peggy discussing the history of the band and their sense of humor always delights even during the moments when Celmins didn't seem to have a clue. The 2-CD set is also worth having for the inclusion of many of the highlights from Cropredy '86 & '87. In fact, it appears to be but 6-tracks short of being the whole of Woodworm's The Other Boot / The Third Leg (3-CD Set).
