holy crap! thank you

Ollie Stench said...

As much as I love the punk rock and the new wave and the weirdo offshoots of both, my all-time favorite album is Liege and Lief by Fairport Convention. Thank you for making this available!!!

rev.b said...

Yikes! Well played, thx.

northfieldhat said...

what he said!

northfieldhat said...

Also , in the colonies we have this actress Sandy Dennis. In Splendor in the Grass and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. I always associate the two, obviously because of the name. but they are similarly on the outside kind of. They are both said to be "under-rated" while at the same time being mega-praised, worshiped and canonised.

Jonny Zchivago said...

I wouldn't say that Denny, not Dennis, was under-rated ever, more a case of over-looked. She certainly deserves to be canonised for her work, although reading her biography she certainly was a bit difficult at times,and probably an alcoholic.....I do worship at her altar though.She also had the uncanny knack of looking different in almost every photo.

Jonny Zchivago said...

indeed ollie, Liege and Lief by Fairport Convention is one of those few albums on the short list of the genuinely innovative.Voted 'most influential' folk album of all time by one of those silly awards ceremonies....sometimes they get it right.

Ramone666 said...

Whoa, thanks a mil for this.

Chocoreve said...

Great work, many thanks !

Rob said...

Thank You

northfieldhat said...

Yes, overlooked.That puts it better, in both cases.

parmalee said...

@northfieldhat -- I LOVE Sandy Dennis. Many years ago I befriended a woman virtually identical to her--it turned out to be her _niece_. She actually spent a good part of her childhood living with Sandy, so I was in heaven.

parmalee said...

Also -- thanks Jonny!

parmalee said...

Re: the other Sandy (Dennis). Check out _A Cold Day in the Park_. Early Robert Altman film. Chilling and fucking awesome! Oh, yeah, also _The Fox_, based upon the DH Lawrence story. Also chilling, but in a different sorta way.

Jonny Zchivago said...

@parmalee.... blimey, i'm well jeal...although I realised recently that my missus resembles Sandy Denny from about 1971,long curly blond locks and floral dresses,but older naturally....maybe this was why i was attracted to her? She hates piano's however...had several bad experiences with the instrument in question.
