1	Unhalfbricking (1969) more music like this by Fairport Convention Unhalfbricking was, if only in retrospect, a transitional album for the young Fairport Convention, in which the group shed its closest ties to its American folk-rock influences and started to edge toward a more traditional British folk-slanted sound. That shift wouldn't be definitive until their next album, Liege & Lief. But the strongest link to ... see all copies from $5.94! new only from $15.19!
2	Super Hits of the '70s: Have a Nice Day, Vol. 4 (1990) more music like this by Various Artists Other volumes in this series may have more memorable hits, but volume four is one of the classiest entries, in terms of being chock-full of songs that remain respectable (and a few of which have even improved) after the 30 years that have passed. It's relentlessly tuneful AM radio but, with the possible exception of the two bonus tracks (Mark ... see all copies from $6.42! new only from $13.09!
3	Live at the BBC (2007) more music like this by Fairport Convention Is a four-CD box set of Fairport Convention 1967-1974 BBC recordings excessive? After all, even the Beatles only got two CDs of Beeb tracks into official release. But it really isn't too much for fans of the band, for the quality of most of the stuff here is truly good, even if the very best of it was already issued on the Heyday compilation. ... see all copies from $35.00! new only from $81.32!
4	Meet on the Ledge: The Classic Years (1967-1975) (1999) more music like this by Fairport Convention Fairport Convention have had their fair share of anthologies, but the double-disc set Meet on the Ledge: The Classic Years (1967-1975) is arguably the best yet, rivaling the classic Fairport Chronicles, which was released just as the classic lineup was splitting apart. Meet on the Ledge is more exhaustive than that collection, and it also boasts a ... see all copies from $11.19! new only from $11.19!
5	History of Fairport Convention (1972) more music like this by Fairport Convention Originally a double album, this 18-song CD is a good selection of the better songs recorded by the group from What We Did on Our Holidays thru Babbacombe Lee, including "Sailor's Life," "Who Knows Where the Time Goes," "Meet On the Ledge," "Si Tu Dois Partir," "Matty Groves," "Sloth," and "Angel Delight." It's no substitute for any of the albums ... see all copies from $20.75! new only from $20.75!
6	Super Hits of the '70s: Have a Nice Day, Vol. 25 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists The final 12-song set in this recap of '70s AM radio's biggest hits appropriately ends things with tunes from its last two years. Of course, things here aren't much better here than they were on the previous 24 volumes, unless you really dig Toby Beau's "My Angel Baby" or Maxine Nightingale's "Lead Me On." Michael Gallucci, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.69! new only from $13.09!
7	Valley Hi/Some Days You Eat the Bear and Some Days the Bear Eats You (2003) more music like this by Ian Matthews Ian Matthews recorded a pair of solid albums for Elektra during the early '70s: Valley Hi, produced by Michael Nesmith, and Some Days You Eat the Bear and Some Days the Bear Eats You, which was self-produced. While it may seem less obvious in 2004, at the time country-rock hadn't been completely co-opted by groups like the Eagles. When Nesmith and ... see all copies from $12.31! new only from $15.19!
8	Dark Ride (1994) more music like this by Ian Matthews Following a pair of albums made up almost exclusively of original material, 1994's The Dark Ride proved that Iain Matthews' newfound prolific nature wasn't just a backlog of tunes collected during his time off, as he penned 11 of the 13 songs (one co-written by Michael Fracasso and producer Mark Hallman). Like its predecessor, Skeleton Keys, The ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $13.95!
9	What's That I Hear?: The Songs of Phil Ochs (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Twenty-eight songs by Phil Ochs, covered by several generations of musicians, from Tom Paxton ("Draft Dodger Rag"), Peter Yarrow ("There But for Fortune"), Dave Van Ronk ("Outside of a Small Circle of Friends"), Eric Andersen ("When I'm Gone"), and Iain Matthews ("Flower Lady") to the Roches ("The Bells," which offers the best singing here), ... see all copies from $21.08! new only from $21.08!
10	Mesa World of Music Sampler (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Mesa World of Music gathers a diverse collection of songs spanning the globe, from reggae stars Black Uhuru's "Questions" to the African-inflected jazz of Rabih Abou-Khalil's "Rabou-Abou-Kabou." Much of the album focuses on world fusion, and Exchange's "Beyond Reach," Rick Braun's "Corazon de Fuego," Al Di Meola's "Parranda," and Strunz & Farah's ... see all copies from $2.45!

12 view cover	What We Did on Our Holidays (1969) more music like this by Fairport Convention Sandy Denny's haunting, ethereal vocals gave Fairport a big boost on her debut with the group. A more folk-based album than their initial effort, What We Did on Our Holidays was divided between original material and a few well-chosen covers. This contains several of their greatest moments: Denny's "Fotheringay," Richard Thompson's "Meet on the ... see all copies from $8.99! new only from $14.25!

15 view cover	Heyday: BBC Radio Sessions, 1968-1969 [UK Bonus Tracks] (2002) more music like this by Fairport Convention In its previous edition (first released in 1987), Heyday was an important document of Fairport Convention's early days, its dozen tracks including numerous songs (mostly folk-rock covers) that they didn't put on their late-'60s albums. The 2002 edition adds to its value considerably by adding eight more tracks, all of them also taken from 1968 ... see all copies from $4.89! new only from $4.89!
16 view cover	The Lasting Spirit: The Collection (2005) more music like this by Fairport Convention This Fairport Convention triple-CD set represents a startlingly good idea that comes off well -- a compilation of live performances from across the group's history, intermingling class concert recordings from back as far as the late '60s with much more recent work from the Cropredy Festival. What one comes away appreciating anew is just how good a ... see all copies from $16.94! new only from $21.59!
17 view cover	Fairport Convention (1968) more music like this by Fairport Convention By far the most rock-oriented of Fairport Convention's early albums, this debut was recorded before Sandy Denny joined the band (Judy Dyble handles the female vocals). Unjustly overlooked by listeners who consider the band's pre-Denny output insignificant, this is a fine folk-rock effort that takes far more inspiration from West Coast '60s sounds ... see all copies from $4.99!

20 view cover	The Fairport Companion (2006) more music like this by Fairport Convention For a band that's seen seven or more incarnations, Fairport Convention has remained a near-mythological Godhead for the British folk scene. Castle Music's sprawling Fairport Companion, complete with a hand-drawn family tree foldout from legendary illustrator/journalist Pete Frame, manages to dutifully represent nearly all of the group's major ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
21 view cover	The Quiet Joys of Brotherhood [Bonus DVD] (2004) more music like this by Fairport Convention Highlighting two years of the annual Cropredy Festival, The Quiet Joys of Brotherhood collects 25 bright spots from the beloved celebration of all things Fairport Convention. Disc one concentrates on the Ian Matthews-led 1986 lineup, with searing renditions of "Sloth," "Mr. Lacy," and Meet on the Ledge," while disc two concentrates on 1987's 20th ... see all copies from $18.91! new only from $26.94!
22 view cover	Plainsong (2005) more music like this by Plainsong Ian Matthews' post-Fairport Convention quartet Plainsong only produced two records (not counting their competent but mediocre 1995 reunion album) before breaking up in the mid-'70s, but both 1972's In Search of Amelia Earhart and Now We Are 3 -- the latter is issued here for the very first time -- contain some of the most flawless and emotional ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $16.77!
23 view cover	Wishfulness Waltz (2000) more music like this by Fairport Convention Wishfulness Waltz is a reissue of the 1997 Fairport Convention album Who Knows Where the Time Goes?, with four bonus tracks recorded at that year's Cropredy Festival. 1997 marked the 30th year of Fairport's existence, and the band began yet another chapter in their continuing saga with a new studio album and a couple of live tracks. Enter fiddle ... see all copies from $5.90! new only from $13.47!
24 view cover	The Classic Collection (2006) more music like this by Fairport Convention It can't be an easy task to compile a comprehensive Fairport Convention retrospective. In its four decades, all the while remaining consistently popular among its core audience, the British folk-rock band has seen numerous membership shifts and label changes, spinning a labyrinthine web that only the hardiest of compilers would attempt to traverse ... see all copies from $8.04! new only from $17.55!
25 view cover	Close to the Wind (1998) more music like this by Fairport Convention Close to the Wind is a compilation drawn from Fairport Convention's 16th and 17th albums, Red & Gold (December 1988) and The Five Seasons (December 1990), boasting eight of the 11 songs from the former and eight of the ten from the latter, re-sequenced. On these albums, originally released in the U.S. by the Rough Trade label, the quintet of ... see all copies from $5.85! new only from $5.85!
