Fairport Convention, From Cropredy to Portmeirion
A distanza di 12 anni ecco apparire questo live relativo al tour invernale del 1990. Il suono in verità appare un po' impastato, le tracce meritavano probabilmente una rimasterizzazione. Tra i brani eseguiti, tutti alquanto fedeli alle versioni originali, c'è da registrare un irresistibile medley (proprio di quelli che fanno saltare) che coinvolge brani noti quali "Matty Groves" e "The lark in the morning". La grafica della confezione, opera di Malcolm Holmes, è un po' bucolica ma piacevole, nello stile degli anni settanta; belle le fotografie di scena del booklet.
