Customer Reviews:

A fine return for one of England's premier folk/rock bands........1998-10-24

1985's "Gladys' Leap" was a fine and unexpected return to form for one of England's premier folk/rock bands. The more conservative fans will still yearn for the Denny/Thompson good old days: don't listen to them! Simon Nicol is an impeccable front man and the instrumental backing is nothing short of marvelous. Virtuosity and good humor abound on this album. The all-instrumental "Expletive Delighted" continues the trend, and although one misses Nicol's vocals, the stunning versions of "Sidh Beg Sidh Mor" and "Hanks for the Memory" (with Richard Thompson and Jerry Donahue guesting for a jaw-dropping guitar duel) make this record more than worth the price of admission.

Good stuff.......2000-01-29

This 2 cd set represents Fairport's rebirth. Including the first album since their demise (Gladys' Leap) and it's instrumental successor(Expletive). Two fine examples of the direction Fairport was to take but still retaining the not quite polished sound of earlier albums. Oh yeh, the remastered sound is quite nice, as well.
