Fairport Convention, Some of Our Yesterdays :

Anthology 1985-1995
 

UK (2-CD) Castle Music CMDDD 367 (19 November 2001) - USA (2-CD) Castle Music 06076-81133-2 (22 January 2002)

 

Un doppio cd che percorre un decennale di storia dei Fairport (dal 1985 al 1995) con una buona scelta di brani molto ben masterizzati da quelli della Sanctuary. Un libretto elegante con una chiara presentazione di Malcom Holmes e belle fotografie autorizzate da Ian Burgess. Insomma, un buon cd, impreziosito dai disegni di Becky Stewart e da un progetto grafico nel complesso soddisfacente.
