Comments and Reviews


Burton LeB SUBS 5th Sep 2024		Further to nboldock's comment ten years ago, the CD version of this album also omits "Medley: The Lark In The Morning / Rakish Paddy / Foxhunter's Jig / Toss The Feathers".



Hawkmarty SUBS 6th Jun 2021		Orange and blue labels added. The integral booklet is on much whiter paper.



Burton LeB SUBS 16th Apr 2021		Scans added of later pressing; 1980 would seem to be the year of this particular issue.



edlongus SUBS 15th Sep 2018		Oh my goodness, never thought I'd see a Pete Frame 'Rock Family Tree' on an album cover?!? His work blows my mind!! Complete genius!! The family tree he did 4 Uriah Heep/Colossuem/Thin Lizzy is a masterpiece...



the whistler 24th Sep 2017		Added main scans-rest of labels identical. Thinking about scanning booklet



the whistler 23rd Sep 2017		Not sure what to do with my version-has red ribbon and ICD4 on spine, yet cat no on labels is the same. Furthermore side2 has different publisher credits. (Posted above) Matrices are: ICD1 4 A-4U/B-3U with 'Porky' and ICD 2 A-2U/B-3U with 'Pecko'. So must be later version. Do you want rest of scans here?



ppint. 3rd Apr 2017		elsewise identical later pressing re-cat#ed ICD 4, issued in the same gatefold card cover°, each disc in a poly-lined, black paper inner; discs numbered ICD 4-1 & 4-2; matrix nos. ICD 4 1-A 5U / ICD 4 2-A 4U & ICD 4 2-A 3U / ICD 4 2-B 4U ° - still referring to the final track, "the hen's march - the four poster bed", as being from the forthcoming 7th fairport convention lp, "album currently in preparation": it'd proved to be entitled "rosie", island 1973 ILPS 9208, whilst the darker- blue with orange sun & lighter-blue with yellow sun island labels of ICD 4 date from sometime between about april 1976 and mid (?) 1986 (or so)



nboldock 11th Nov 2014		The CD version of this omitted "Crazy Man Michael" in order to fit the album onto one CD.
