Angel Delight Import

Reader Reviews
At a time when most of their contemporaries were choosing a comercial path in the wake of Dylan and friends, These true originators of the folk rock genre reafirmed their commitment to the sound they pioneered. While their American cousins fell by the wayside, Championing Pop, Blues, agressive Progressive Rock, and other comercially accepted alternatives to the Folk roots in which they were founded, Fairport Convention makes a bold statement by refusing to compromise their conviction to it. They never made alot of money at their craft, and this album is a prime example of an artist's willingness to put their craft ahead of their bellies and bank accounts. At the time this album was recorded, the band was approximately 80,000 Pounds in debt and living, all, in a 2 room flat, unable to get bookings and losing key members to the lure of more lucrative projects. The quality and endurance of this recording is a testament to the soul of the true poets, troubadors, and pioneers who took up the mantle of Guthrie and the weavers in this country. As Dylan dined well, these boys sought to maintain a legacy he all but forgot.
