From the SandyDennyList message board, David Suff at Fledg'ling Records UK sez the unreleased/never completed Fotheringay 2 album will be issued on 9-29-08.

No other details or final track listing, but here's a previous dialogue on the matter from band member Jerry Donahue, current through 5-21-08:

And here's an audio & picture file of The Sea from their first album (1970) on YouTube, too bad it's not in stereo here, listen for the fab guitar solo after verse 2:

I've read that Robert Plant & Alison Krauss have been doing The Battle of Evermore on their tour this year, would love to hear that...

Fotheringay remain one of the great might-have-beens of British music. They lasted less than a year, and released just one album, but their disappearance robbed the early ’70s scene of a group of musicians capable of taking folk-rock to new heights of subtlety and musicianship. Now the nine songs on that debut album; assumed for almost four decades to be their sole testament, are joined by the eleven that would have constituted a follow-up. Sadly they broke up during the recording sessions for their second album. Incredibly all the tapes survived in various record company archives. Thirty eight years later the surviving members of the group have mixed all the material to finally complete this remarkable album. When originally released the debut album went straight into the Top Twenty in both Melody Maker and NME, and is now an acknowledged classic recording of British folk-rock. The second Fotheringay album has been eagerly awaited by all fans of Sandy Denny, British folk-rock and by fans of great music in general.

Now why didn't I think to look up The Battle of Evermore on YouTube? There must be 50 different videos of Robert & Alison doing this song...
