Fairport Convention : Liege & Lief

The advertisements for Fairport Convention’s epoch-making fourth album ran: ‘the first (literally) British folk rock LP ever.’ While that’s not (literally) true, ‘Liege & Lief’ created the template for all subsequent recordings in that style. It also represented a catharsis for the band, which reconvened after a traumatic road accident that killed drummer Martin Lamble.
