Label GB

one of rough trade's island 50th anniversary selection - 50 crucial titles, specially selected by us to highlight the unique contribution this seminal label has made to british music since 1959. an album that revels in an embarrassment of influences which the band bind, making their own. this was the fairport that ran with the psychedelic underground, flexing their muscles, a slumbering entity about to wake. this was their beatnik phase, producing such evergreens as sandy denny's beautiful 'fotheringay', the first tangible examples of electrified trad in 'nottamun town' and 'she moves through the fair' - neither song, incidentally, british. more significantly, richard thompson began to move in his own mysterious way, gifting 'meet on the ledge' which has since become their signature. variety, as they say, is the spice of life and this collection adroitly exploits just that.
