Fairport Convention & Friends (inc Richard Thompson)
The Mill (a Cropredy warmup)
Banbury, England
August 14, 1991

An amazing sounding show - a dat sdb, I think - and great performances.


I've shared this pretty widely, but it deserves an even larger audience. It sounds too good not to be here, and, in fact, imo, should be placed on your shelf along with the Richard Thompson Band Cropredy 91 sdb that davemar uploaded here recently.

When I first received this, but before sharing it widely the first time, I sent it to a man in the UK who masters with (imo) a pretty light touch, but I think I recall his saying it needed little or nothing done to it.
