Sorry, I have to be picky again here. “Unhalfbricking” actually came out between “What We Did…” and “Liege…” Amazingly, all three of these albums came out in 1969!

For what it’s worth, a lot of people have told me that “Unhalbricking” is their favourite but I’m with the conventional wisdom that “Liege…” is the classic.

Also, Sandy Denny didn’t die until 1978.

Yeah, I was just doing some research on her. Definitely going to add her to my “to get” queue.

Sandy Denny was an incredible singer and songwriter. She was also commonly credited as the Fairport member responsible for introducing traditional British and Irish songs into the band’s repertoire. I highly recommend her solo album “The North Star Grassman and the Ravens.”

The lack of S in the album title was a typo and evidence that I need to proofread. However, I had no idea that it was a different singer! I’ll admit my ignorance on that one. Thanks for the point-out. I’m just gonna go back in and edit that little detail like the fuck-up never happened. Don’t tell nobody!

Couple of nit-picky corrections here:

The album is actually called “What We Did on Our HolidayS” with an S.

The singer on the album is not Linda Thompson, it’s Sandy Denny.
