Cool. I don't know if they will all necessarily be live recordings, they say they may include some demos too. Not so interested in the first offering, but I must remember to check back and see what they are offering on subsequent weeks. Jules |

I have a feeling that today's offering "The Fossil Hunter" is from Off The Desk, probably of limited use if you have the CD already. However, it's a very nice idea if we can have alternative takes etc.

Yes, I was thinking it might be the Off The Desk version too. |

This Fossil Hunter is track 2 from Fairport's Live Cropredy Special of 2004.
(No brainer, since it says so in the metadata)

I may be being dim, but does that mean it was recorded at Cropredy in 2004? I don't see any reference to anything released from that year's festival on the discography section of the Expletive Delighted website, which is usually fairly comprehensive. In fact, I realised it can't have been, as the setlist for that year's Cropredy on the same website doesn't list The Fossil Hunter as having been played there. So was it a special released to promote Cropredy? Or what? |

It doesn't list source details but the tracks are Journeyman's Grace, Fossil Hunter, Canny Capers and Si Tu Dois Partir. |

This week it is a live version of How Many Times: http://www.fairportconvention.com/downloads.php. No information I can see about when or where it was from, though I don't think I have heard it played live for many years now. Oh, and my download arrived on the computer as a file with .php on the end. But I just changed it to .mp3 and it played fine. |

It appeared on The Lasting Spirit (Disc 2) - sounds like it may be the same version

The version on The Lasting Spirit was the original album version, which this is not. My guess is that it's from a gig sometime in the late 80s/early 90s.
