| 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best Of The Fairport Convention CD (2002)
$7.45 (MP3 Available for Download)

| Meet On The Ledge: The Classic Years (1967-1975) CDs (1999) 1967-1975

$13.09

| Fairport Convention CD (1968) (Import) Bonus Tracks; Germany
$11.99

Fairport Convention Biography
The definitive British folk-rock band, Fairport Convention took the traditional music of England and injected it with electricity and rock energy, sparking a whole musical movement in the U.K. in the late 1960s and early '70s. The late-'60s incarnation of the band was bursting with talent, including singer Sandy Denny and guitarist Richard Thompson, both of whom went on to lauded solo careers. Even after Denny and Thompson's departures, though, Fairport never slowed down. Through numerous personnel changes, they soldiered on for decades with their singular brand of folk-rock, becoming the Grand Old Men of the genre.
