Judy Dybleに代わりサンディ・デニーが参加した68年のフェアポート・コンヴェンション2作目。
今でもコンサートの最後に演奏され、大合唱になる"Meet On The Ledge"や、Sandyが後に結成するバンド名にもなった"Fotheringay"を収録。

はっきし言って、フェアポートのジャケットで一番好きなのが米国盤のこれ。
サンディ・デニーの無邪気な笑顔をはじめとして、みんな若いのでなんかせつなくなりますよね。
手に取るだけで甘酸っぱい感情が押し寄せてきて、おじさんは涙もろくなってしまいます。
世界的にもこの米国盤はとても人気があり美品はなかなかお目にかかれなくなっています。

今回入荷は激レアな白ラベルのプロモ盤。
お見逃しなく！
