Come all ye : the first 10 years

"Come All Ye should be enough for even the most jaded, battle-weary Fairport fan to part with his or her hard-earned cash. The band are no strangers to re-issues, remasters and live recordings, but this lavish set throws another 55 genuine unreleased performances into the pot. You get radio sessions, audio recordings of TV shows, alternate versions and a stack of newly found live performances. The sleeve notes are by Patrick Humphries - a man who writes knowledgably and well about this era of British music. It's a treasure trove for the faithful and a comprehensive baptism for the brave newbie".

"Essentially, if multiple live versions of Sloth are your bag (and that's not a bad bag to own), then Come All Ye is a compulsory purchase. The Cropredy years that followed may be a touch too trad for some but from 1967 to '77, Fairport Convention were beautiful, revolutionary, tear-jerking and heads-down purveyors of a right old English hoedown. Come all ye rolling minstrels indeed".
