The second album from Fairport Convention and the first to make much impact on British record buyers, thanks to promotion by John Peel on his Sunday afternoon BBC Radio show. It was also the first of the band's albums to be released in America, as Fairport Convention. Folk singer Sandy Denny joins the band for the first time, bringing some of her own songs with her as well as providing the an ethereal voice that characterises the band's classic lineup in this and the next two albums. It's also Iain Matthews' final album with them and thus the only Fairports album to feature Denny and Matthews harmonising together; a sound not easily forgotten once heard.There are already signs here of the band's shift in direction away from the style of American 'folk' bands towards a distinctively British sound of electric rock blended with traditional ballad forms. This shift would take place gradually over the three albums of Fairport's classic phase. The Richard Thompson song "Meet on the Ledge" became the band's constant theme through its many changes up to the present day. | |

Cover Version | |
| What We Did on Our Holidays (Music) / int_cff53786 | comment |
Cover Version: "I'll Keep It With Mine", a Bob Dylan song first recorded in 1965 by Judy Collins. "The Lord Is In This Place...How Dreadful Is This Place" is credited to Hutchings, Thompson and Denny, but is based on a 1920s blues, "Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground by Blind Willie Johnson. "Eastern Rain", an early song by Joni Mitchell. "Nottamun Town", a traditional English folk song whose melody was thought to be lost until song collectors recorded it independently in various parts of the Appalachians. Bob Dylan used the tune for his song Masters of War on The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan "She Moves Through The Fair", a very well-known and much-recorded Irish folk song with a macabre theme. | |
