Description

Liege & Lief is widely regarded as the definitive British folk‑rock album, marking the moment Fairport Convention fully embraced traditional English folk material and fused it with electric rock instrumentation. Originally released in 1969, it features the classic lineup of Sandy Denny, Richard Thompson, Ashley Hutchings, Dave Swarbrick, Simon Nicol, and Dave Mattacks, delivering a set of songs that became foundational to the genre.

This 2023 reissue faithfully replicates the original Island Records UK release, complete with a gatefold sleeve and high‑quality pressing. It preserves the warmth and detail of the original recording while offering improved clarity.
