If you give me until Christmas next year I might be able to translate it.
Jen
Do you have a copy? Are you sure you could do it? I mean: 400 + pages....... Walter is looking for somebody to do it. |

Hiya!
Don't have a copy yet but I think I could translate it. If I reacall correctly, there are quite a few pages that are pictures only and others that have got names listed.
But yeah, it would be something I'd enjoy doing.

Just finished "The Fairport Tour" by David Hughes (with additional photos by Colin Edwards ) I could wax poetical about the synergy between text and graphics and the effect that the book provides to the reader in describing the disperate feelings of playing, travelling and table tennis. However, I will instead lavish the finest praise a man can give. It's a great toilet book  |

Thanks Will I be given a deadline? Or am I just translating it? Maybe you could get in touch via IM Ulla? Thanks, Jen Hi Jenny, sorry my answer comes so late ! I love you for willing to translate my book. Of course it will have to be updated, and some informations being rewritten or corrected. My editor will of course be involved in it. And I do have to inform them about your plan. But anyway I think they will be very interested in it. If you really want to do it, I would supply the updates and corrections, of course, and you would translate the whole thing. It would be the first Fairport biography covering 1967 up to now. Wouldn't that be great? And we could add some great photographs from all the Cropredys since 1991 that I have made. Cheers and big love from Stuttgart, Walter ! |

Hi, Soon after i started this topic i had a look at the "Expletive Delighted" site as Barry had suggested and it seemed clear that the only reasonably up to date and comprehensive book was in German. This was a bit of a blow as my German is non existant[ in fact i spent quite a few years at school deliberatly not listening - which on reflection was stupid!]
I t's brilliant to see how the discussion is developing and i really hope that Walter and Jen can get it together to produce an English edition.
Please put me down for a copy when it comes off.
regards
Paul

HI Paul! In fact, I've known Walter for a good few years now and it's funny that this question has not come up before. I hope that you won't be the only one who wants to buy the book. Walter, IM is instant message. Anyway, let me know what the publisher thinks! I can't wait to get started. Jen |

I wonder if anyone could shed any light on the value of the following item. I have a copy of 'Unscrapbooking' by Martyn Kenney...I have no idea if it has ever appeared on ebay for example. I am in an unfortunate position of needing to sell the majority of my record collection including a good many Fairport items and memorabilia...The 3 x Boot cassettes, AT2, Airing Cupboard tapes tape...and it is really difficult getting a realistic price worked out for the stuff...any advise will be appreciated...thanks.

Unscrapbooking is quite uncommon (even rare), but that doesn't mean it is worth a huge amount or is any good. In my experience, even rareish Fairport memorabilia doesn't do very well on eBay. An exception is the CDs of the Boot/AT2 series...the cassettes struggle. Fwiw I'd suggest £25ish for the book and £10-20 for each of the cassettes (except the Airing Cupboard tapes which really - and perhaps surprisingly - isn't worth much at all, probably as it's been reissued on CD). Obviously, in an auction anything can happen. If you've got the nerve start at £0.99 and let things find their own value. If not, then have a buy-it-now price but with a 'Best Offer'. ps for valuing music you can't do much better than a combination of Amazon market place, eBay (look at completed sales, not at what people are asking for things) and http://www.discogs.com/ |

I presume nothing ever came of Jen's offer to translate Walter's book? I don't think I ever saw that discussion - it was about 6 months before I joined Talkawhile (gosh, that means this summer must be my 10th anniversary here!).

Fairportfolio by Kingsley Abbott is really good
If you can find a copy
Jude
I have a copy of that. It's a nice book, if rather slim. Has a personal slant, iirc. I risk making myself unpopular by liking the Fairport by Fairport book. I do read quite a lot, but not many music related books. |

I've remembered I also have No More sad Refrains, not the Sandy biography, but a A4 book with pictures, which I got around the same time as Fairportfolio. |
