If you like Fairport Convention, you've got to check out the new Pepe Deluxe comeback song after 5 years of waiting! Type in 'The Storm - Pepe Deluxe'.
Judy Dyble is smoking hot, but Sandy Denny is a legend. It's a shame to see so many bands and labels ditch a talent for a face nowadays, when clearly it needn't be so. I wonder what Judy's doing now.
Norwegian breakfast telly, huh? Nice to see she's still working in the music business, though. As for being smoking hot, well, she's not bad for an old girl.
I've been getting into Fairport Convention relatively recently and their debut album is hard to beat. I really like Sandy Denny but Judy Dyble is streets ahead in my books. It's a shame that she disappeared after their first album. Then again, with the direction that FC took, after their first recording, it's perhaps best that Dyble could go out on a high...quite while you're ahead and all that jazz....great song, fantastic scenario being sung about. What a difficult situation that really is!
Fairport: a "supergroup" right from the start who spawned many new bands. Iain Matthews on lead vocal - had a No 1 hit with Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock" and he went on to make many other superb covers from writers like Jackson Browne, Jesse Winchester, James Taylor, John Denver & Peter Gabriel - to name jusy 5. He also writes great songs Look out for Plainsong's "In Search of Amelia Earhart". What a shame the camera shots are so dreadful - have to imagine RT's young fingers working those strings
Poor Martin Lamble. And, Jenny, Richard Thompson's girlfriend - both died from a terrible van crash. Then, Sandy falls down the stairs and dies from that tumble. Swarb has had big health problems.....but through it all.....Fairport/Cropredy/Thompson carry on! We're glad they are....
@CHUCKLOVES1969 ... Wow... That's quite a bio there '69. I can only speculate that you never witnessed a live show of The Palace Guard nor The Merry Go Round at the Hulaballoo... This FC version in it's own right IS as good as the original, I'll give you that. But music is not a competitive sport as that of rugby. Just take this in a friendly manner from and old old old band roadie...
@LarrytheDuckster ...i DID see at the hulaballoo,,the seeds,the music machine, janis, buffalo springfield. BUT my biggest regret... was when the dj came out, and said next week was a guy from england we had never heard of,,, so we passed on it. it was Jimi...b4 he went up to monterey. those were the days my friend,,,oh yes they were.
@CHUCKLOVES1969 Excellent points, good sir. Plus, my opinion may be slightly biased, being slightly obsessed with Emitt Rhodes (his self-titled album on Dunhill is one of my all-time favorites, but so is Full House).
For the dim bulbs only -thankfully there just a couple . I wasn't extolling the pluses of betrayal ,but rather lamenting the high down payment with a whopper of a balloon payment on the final installment.
Judy- the only female musician who could have played in King Crimson. She was briefly in Giles, Giles & Fripp, the band that preceded KC- ain't rock history weird?
Anyway, Fairport were great. Unhalfbricking is one of the best albums ever recorded IMHO.
@bluebird925 Judy Dyble, who, after this, sang on the Giles, Giles & Fripp album (the album before the first King Crimson album). She left the business and was a librarian for years, 'til the Fairport Cropredy reunion festivals started up.
I knew them little beyond the much-airplayed Matty Groves. Friends are experts, always cheering. So, reading more of the recent time/place books, I discovered more about Sandy...this led to Wiki, but then to this early clip. A different Fairport.
Anytime converging, ganged vocals electrify me, it's mystical. Airplane, early Cream , Byrds, Poco, Vanilla Fudge...you guys go right off the same scale w that 1st 3-way, soaring - in - the clouds harmony @ 1:22. It's downright celestial.
Richard Thompson's eastern/modal guitar riffs....up there with Jorma, Clapton on I'm So Glad, Vince Martell w Vanilla Fudge, Steve Stills w Buffalo Springfield,etc.
Those VOICES!..w Judy harmonizing...it sounds like it's from Atlanitis, Lumania, Ancient Greece, & future civilizations, all mixed together at once.
@The60sMusicman - no, it's Ashley "Tyger" Hutchings. It was Ron Chesterman on double bass with the Strawbs when Sandy was with them and for some time afterwards.
Byrds + garage punk + folk. It's seems such an unlikely combination but it works perfectly. It's a shame they didn't do more of it and it's a surprise no one else has tried something similar.
@cougher989 Fucking around will only end one relationship for her, and make a short one for you. Maybe you have to experience that to learn it, but once you do, never forget because its a miserable thing to do to everyone involved.
@jkoff76 I consider him and Peter Green to be THE guitarists of thier generation,(and the subsequent generations have been in decline) and that generation was filled with greats.
lookin drawn and haggerd thru the dawn they staggered,with a sound that they found over FRISCO WAY!!!,or maybe even musswell hill!!or where ever they came from!!! lol
@sullyb23511 - Cross-pollination, running back & forth from both directions. People watching & listening to one another during an era of rapid change & unprecedented innovation.
Iain Matthews has been prolific while Emitt Rhodes is on the verge of releasing his first album in nearly four decades. Both men are equally underappreciated and unheralded.
I bought this LP when it was first released, along with "The Doors"...on the same day. Its funny that listening to the Doors takes me back to the era, but when I listen to this I'm almost sitting in my room, playing it on my Dansette for the first time ! The cover photo was beautiful, with the Tiffany(?) lamp, and it's such a shame that Judy Dyble left...
@captainsoul1953 - Richard's riffs bear a great similiarity to Jorma's in the use of vibrato quavers, as well as modal, eastern-sounding scales. & string-bending wails placed dead-on. The voices are actually more convergent than the Airplane - more sky high. The 'Plane's trio would weave in & out of harmony. Judy tops off a very powerful choirlike sound. It is transcendent, in the right mood.
As some commentators noted below, the Jefferson Airplane influence here is pretty obvious. But the FC soon transcended that and found their own special voice. Great clip -- thanks for posting it!
Brings back memories of the Mothers Club in Erdington, Birmingham where I saw them perform this several times. This is only one of the great songs they performed in those days. Judy Dyble was great.
I just got Judy Dyble's CD in the mail and it's the best album I've heard in such a long time!!! She is sheer bittersweet heavenly brilliance!!!! It's called Talking With Strangers.. It's worth buying.. I would have paid double for this now that I've heard it!!
This is a great version of the song written by Emitt Rhodes of the Merry Go Round--remember the song "Live"? It's on their first album. Fairport is looking and sound very Airplane-like here. Great stuff for 1967.
They rocked out then. Later they sounded like feudalism cheerleaders in some kind of folkie sci-fi flick. Very very but too too niche for mortal consumption. Dyble had a human sound.
Fairports at their heaviest. They have always been known as masters of their instruments and known for being sober swots rather than snoggered on the fungus. None of them cared for stardom and cared for how their music would be perceived in whatever time they were in. Ironically enough, when a boisterous nutcracking hellraiser Sandy Denny replaces the school marmed and sweet judy (she knitted on stage at concerts) did they take folk seriously. Still you gotta love their abilty to rock out.
The first Fairport LP was a great late 60s los6 classic. If that was the only record they ever made, it would be one of those rare collectables! Wish Judy would do a tour !
There was a lot more to Dyble leaving the band than 'her being asked'. The close relationship she was in at the time, with a band member had just ended.
Great song. The guitarist in back looks like a cross between Chris Squire and Roger Waters. There is a live version of this song on Lasting Spirit. Does anyone know when that one was recorded? I am wondering if I should get that one or the original studio version.
never heard these guys but they sound good. that 1st singer looks like a complete poser even so much that it seems like he's pretending to be on drugs.
Many thanks for posting, I've never seen this early Fairport phase ever.

Richard Thompson's playing is smoking hot right here. He had that "woman tone" down!! It's Emitt Rhodes on steroids.

Never saw this before!! What a difference from all that "authentic" finger-in-the-ear, yokel accent stuff.

Martin Lamble too--I've never seen him in a video before. This is a very cool find.

This is a great version of the song written by Emitt Rhodes of the Merry Go Round--remember the song "Live"? It's on their first album. Fairport is looking and sound very Airplane-like here. Great stuff for 1967.

They rocked out then. Later they sounded like feudalism cheerleaders in some kind of folkie sci-fi flick. Very very but too too niche for mortal consumption. Dyble had a human sound.

I think it sounds more like a Crosby, Stills, Nash or Buffalo Springfield prototype..

Fairports at their heaviest. They have always been known as masters of their instruments and known for being sober swots rather than snoggered on the fungus. None of them cared for stardom and cared for how their music would be perceived in whatever time they were in. Ironically enough, when a boisterous nutcracking hellraiser Sandy Denny replaces the school marmed and sweet judy (she knitted on stage at concerts) did they take folk seriously. Still you gotta love their abilty to rock out.

The first Fairport LP was a great late 60s los6 classic. If that was the only record they ever made, it would be one of those rare collectables! Wish Judy would do a tour !

There was a lot more to Dyble leaving the band than 'her being asked'. The close relationship she was in at the time, with a band member had just ended.

Great song. The guitarist in back looks like a cross between Chris Squire and Roger Waters. There is a live version of this song on Lasting Spirit. Does anyone know when that one was recorded? I am wondering if I should get that one or the original studio version.

never heard these guys but they sound good. that 1st singer looks like a complete poser even so much that it seems like he's pretending to be on drugs.
