Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The third album from Fairport Convention and the second of three released in 1969 that marked a change in the band's direction. Many regard it as the band's masterpiece while others prefer its followup, Liege & Lief.Unhalfbricking came at a difficult time for the band. Singer Iain Matthews left during the recording sessions and appears only on "Percy's Song". Then, just a few weeks before release the band's van was involved in a crash on the M1 that killed drummer Martin Lamble and Richard Thompson's girlfriend Jeannie Franklyn, injuring other band members. This event triggered a lot of thinking about the band's future. Folk fiddler Dave Swarbrick joined in as a session musician on some tracks, notably "A Sailor's Life", and became a permanent member of the band afterwards, signalling a change away from the American country folk and bluegrass style to an exploration of the more deep-rooted and traditional British folk ballad. One such traditional song, "A Sailor's Life", was brought in by Sandy Denny from her solo folk club days and given a full rock makeover. Nothing quite like it had ever appeared on a mainstream rock album before but it would be a blueprint for what was to come.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Face on the Cover: No, not the middle-aged couple in the foreground. They would be Sandy Denny's parents, Edna and Neil, standing outside their house in Wimbledon. You can see the band on the other side of the fence, sitting on the lawn. On the back cover the band are sitting round a table. This image was used for the front cover on the Australian version. The first American edition had an inset of the band with a picture of circus elephants. | |

Hanging Judge: "Percy's Song". 99 years for involvement in a fatal car crash seems excessive in any jurisdiction. The Cook County judge ain't listening, however. | |

In It for Life | |

In It for Life: "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" is a reflection on the passage of time, the cycle of the seasons, and the sense that some things, like close relationships, are timeless at least until death. | |

Cover Version | |
| Unhalfbricking (Music) / int_cff53786 | comment |
Cover Version: Two previously unreleased Dylan songs: "Percy's Song" and "Million Dollar Bash". "Si tu dois partir" is also a Dylan cover, a French language version of his song "If You Gotta Go, Go Now" The traditional ballad "A Sailor's Life". Averted with "Who Knows Where The Time Goes", which Sandy Denny had recorded earlier with The Strawbs for an album. That album wasn't released until 1973, however, so the version here was the first to be released. The CD release includes Dylan's "Dear Landlord", from the album "John Wesley Harding", and "Ballad of Easy Rider" by The Byrds, from the soundtrack of Easy Rider. | |
