"June Tabor launched her solo career with 'Airs And Graces', a record that remains one of the most essential folk music records of the 1970s and beyond. Now in 2019 Topic Records are re-releasing it as a Deluxe CD as part of the Topic Treasures series. For collectors like myself, this is fantastic news ... For all the romantic chat you hear about vinyl records today, for me, the thoughtfully compiled re-issued CD deluxe editions such as this, with their perfect sound and abundance of treasures found within the package, remain the most desirable. For the scholars out there, this edition of June Tabor's essential 'Airs And Graces' is the one that you will need sitting on your shelves".

"June Tabor's 1976 solo debut comes with four live bonus tracks from 1971-74 and excellent sleeve notes from Tabor herself and Colin Irwin. These ten Child Ballads and songs were recorded at Sound Techniques in London shortly after her Silly Sisters release with Maddy Prior - that's two classic albums in the space of a few months ... The extra live tracks, comprising unaccompanied voice and extraordinary song, make it a musthave English folk classic".

"Good" - "Though oft-mythologised as punk's "year zero", let's celebrate 1976 as the year of English folk's apotheosis. Sparsely accompanied (with the sainted Nic Jones on guitar and fiddle), time stands still at the majesty of June's singing. Four bonus tracks".
