4.0 out of 5 stars A great example of mid-seventies Fairport, November 9, 1999

What a great line-up. Dave Pegg, DM, Swarb, Trevor Lucas, and the wonderful Gerry Donahue...breathe new life into the Fairport name. This is a fantastic album both revered by the band and hardcore fans. A hard to find CD-check it out. Traditional folk with blasts of rock and country. Great musicianship and loads of fun. All in all, fantastic!

4.0 out of 5 stars versatility and panache, June 3, 2002

Really this set contains some of Fairports best-loved songs, from the olde-English Hexamshire Lass and Polly on the Shore to the epic Bring em Down. This album rocks as well as 'Folks'.
For thumping,crunching danceability listen to the raunch of Possibly Parsons Green.
Swarbs fiddle gets a work out too and Trevor Lucas was at the pinnacle of his song-writing prowess.
Probably on of their most accessible albums and if you only have to have one Fairport set,this would'nt be a bad place to settle.
