1	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!
2	RT: The Life and Music of Richard Thompson (2006) more music like this by Richard Thompson Given the length, breadth, and impact of his career as, arguably, the most revered figure in British folk-rock since he first joined Fairport Convention in 1967, it's no surprise that Richard Thompson has been honored with the multi-disc box set treatment not once, but twice. In 1993, noted Thompson, aficionado Edward Haber compiled Watching the ... see all copies from $55.00! new only from $71.21!
3	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 $10.44! new only from $10.44!
4	What We Did On Our Holidays [UK Bonus Tracks] (2003) 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 $9.69! new only from $9.69!
5	Chronicles (2005) more music like this by Fairport Convention This two-disc U.K. collection from 2005 features 34 classic tracks culled from material recorded between the British folk-rock legend's 1968 eponymous debut and 1975's Rising for the Moon. Listeners looking for a solid entry point into the world of Fairport Convention will find that Chronicles more than suffices, as it relies a great deal on the ... see all copies from $34.59! new only from $34.59!
6	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 $13.74!
7	The Cropredy Box (1999) more music like this by Fairport Convention This three-disc set was recorded live in August of 1997 at Fairport Convention's annual Cropredy Festival. In 1997 Fairport celebrated their 30th year of existence, and this concert was an attempt to chronicle the various periods of the band's storied career by reassembling their most significant lineups. Original vocalist Judy Dyble, who only ... see all copies from $12.49! new only from $14.47!
8	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 $20.59! new only from $20.59!
9	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of the Fairport Convention (2002) more music like this by Fairport Convention see all copies from $3.00! new only from $8.46!
10	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 $22.31! new only from $22.31!
11 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 $19.99! new only from $19.99!
12 view cover	Folk: Rock Founders (2007) more music like this by Various Artists This Czech import on the Primo label is one of the strangest compilations on the market when it comes to folk music, and primarily the prog folk music of the British scene in the late '60s and early '70s. Included here are two discs filled with 24 cuts. The artists range from Fairport Convention and the Strawbs to Medicine Head, Stackridge, and ... see all copies from $6.09! new only from $6.09!
13 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 $9.48! new only from $9.48!
14 view cover	Across the Decades (2004) more music like this by Fairport Convention Across the Decades is an apt title for a band that's as much an institution as anything. With more than 35 years under their belt, Fairport have a huge catalog to cherry-pick from for what's essentially a best-of release. Be warned, however, that there's nothing from the classic Sandy Denny/Richard Thompson lineup that helped invent British folk ... see all copies from $13.08! new only from $13.08!
15 view cover	Nights in Manhattan (And Points West) (1997) more music like this by Iain Matthews Originally released in the late '80s as a mail-order-only cassette entitled Ian Matthews Live (he changed the spelling of his first name shortly thereafter), Nights in Manhattan (recorded in New York City in May of 1988) was reissued in 1997 with four added tracks that were recorded live two and a half years later in California (hence the "And ... see all copies from $4.65!
16 view cover	Encore Encore [Folkprint] (1997) more music like this by Fairport Convention Encore, Encore was originally released in 1979 under the title Farewell, Farewell; it was a live album documenting what was intended at the time to be the final Fairport Convention tour and featured a lineup of Simon Nicol, Dave Pegg, Dave Swarbrick, and Bruce Rowland. However, since the band remained intact, this 1997 reissue -- timed to coincide ... see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
17 view cover	Floating on the Breeze: The Best of Prelude (2000) more music like this by Prelude Splendid 21-track compilation of the trio's finest work from 1970-1977 on the Dawn and Pye labels in close, vivid sound. The selection of songs is derived from all four of their Dawn label albums but also encompasses their non-LP single of George Harrison's "Here Comes the Sun" (which incorporates " "Good Day Sunshine") and a previously unissued ... see all copies from $79.97! new only from $79.97!

19 view cover	A Boxful of Treasures (2004) more music like this by Sandy Denny Even before her all-too-tragic passing in 1977, Sandy Denny was touted as England's premiere female folk vocalist. However, gratuitous comparisons with contemporaries Jacqui McShee and Joni Mitchell seem to have been more of an albatross or doubled-edged sword than confirmation of Denny's wholly individualistic style. Depending on which side of ... see all copies from $77.51! new only from $77.51!
20	Owlcreek Incident (1975) more music like this by Prelude see all copies from $8.00!
21 view cover	Best of the BBC Recordings (2008) more music like this by Fairport Convention The title of this collection is a bit of a misnomer, since most Fairport Convention fans will tell you the best of the venerable British folk-rock group's recordings for BBC Radio were already compiled on the superb 1987 album Heyday (which grew from a 12-track LP to a 20-song CD when it got a digital makeover in 2002). But as a sampler of the ... see all copies from $10.25! new only from $10.25!

23 view cover	Festival Cropredy 2002 [Recall] (2008) more music like this by Fairport Convention The annual Cropredy Music Festival is one of the most important events on the yearly calendar for fans of British folk music; organized by members of Fairport Convention, it's not just a three-day concert but a gathering of the tribes for followers of the U.K.'s most venerable folk-rock outfit, and as Fairport traditionally closes out the last day ... see all copies from $12.41! new only from $12.41!
24 view cover	Gold (2008) more music like this by Fairport Convention This two-disc U.K. collection features 34 classic tracks culled from material recorded between the British folk-rock legend's 1968 eponymous debut and 1975's Rising for the Moon. Listeners looking for a solid entry point into the world of Fairport Convention will find that Gold more than suffices, as it relies a great deal on the group's most ... see all copies from $31.48! new only from $31.48!
