Additional Information

Comments The History of Fairport Convention is the first compilation of tracks by Fairport Convention, released in 1972.
At the time it was released, it appeared that the band had folded. The cover had a "family tree" by Pete Frame on the front. Another unusual aspect of the album was that a piece of ribbon was glued to the sleeve, making it look as if a royal seal had been embossed on it. Different reissues had blue ribbons, or red or green. Later reissues of the album had no ribbon, but the central seal was shown in a larger size, and the family tree was missing.

2xLP originally released in 1972. "Crazy Man Michael" and "The Lark In The Morning" medley were omitted from this CD.

Issued in a standard jewel case with a folded front insert wich appears as four pages (outer) and a poster (inner), the latter being a reproduction of the original LP front.
