A new 2 disc deluxe edition of Fairport Convention’s 1975 album, Rising for The Moon, will be released at the end of August. This new edition contains the original album Re-mastered and expanded with home demos, alternate-versions and the Previously Unreleased LWT performance of “White Dress”.

And on disc 2 released for the first time, a new live album of Fairport Convention’s classic 1974 appearance at The LA Troubadour, including 5 Previously Unreleased recordings. [Note: 11 of the 16 tracks were previously issued on the Sandy 19 CD mega-box.]

The setlist at the Troubadour is unusual in that it was mostly different to the songs performed on the live album that was released: ‘Fairport Live Convention’. None of the Troubadour tapes were used on that release, as such was the band’s parlous financial situation at the time, they couldn’t afford to purchase the tapes from Wally Heider’s Mobile. Over the years odd selections trickled out but it was only on 2010’s definitive 19 CD Sandy Denny box-set that the tracks featuring Sandy were properly mixed by Andrew Batt. He has now added the additional performances by Trevor Lucas and Dave Swarbrick so now fans can enjoy this brief but memorable line-up at their absolute best.

The package also contains new sleeve notes by Patrick Humphries, and rare and unseen photos, and is released on 26th August 2013.

Can't never get enough of Sandy.

Yesssssssss!

This should be a great one. I've always felt that this line-up was as good as any Fairport had. Jerry Donahue is a wonderful guitar player-not quite Richard Thompson, but damn good.

This definitely falls into my wait-until-the-price-drops file.

Stumbled across this duo over at the other forum, pretty good retro British folk, kind of a non-rocking Fairport Convention / Sandy Denny. Really nice dobro playing, I'll put up a post for their new album in Different Strokes, too...

Thank you for posting this. The first minute is gorgeous; than I run into my usual issue with You Tube freezing. I'll try to find it somewhere else on the internet; I'd really like to hear it (& what it sounds like when they start to sing!)

I found 4 tracks on there website. I need this album!

Wow-what a revelation.
Thank you Robin and Geff. This really sounds like the goods.

Looks like the only easy way to get actual cd's is through their website. Amazon US only has an MP3 of a previous album, & this one is only available on their site until a general UK release on 9/3.
