All Our Own Work

These historic recordings have every claim to be called the first British folk-rock album. 'All our own work' , comprising all original material, was recorded in Copenhagen in July 1967. Fairport Convention recorded their first album in November 1967 with Judy Dyble as their female singer; they did not start recording with Sandy Denny until June 1968. 'All our own work' has been shrouded in mystery for years. The sleeve-notes on the original release mistakenly claimed that the album was recorded in 1968. It was not released until 1973, to cash in on the Top Ten successes of Strawbs, and sold 65,000 copies. This new release dispels the myths. The booklet contains extracts from Dave Cousins diary with the full time-line; the original black and white sleeve photograph has been re-coloured; there are previously unheard songs. 'All our own work' contains the first recording of Sandy Denny's immortal 'Who knows where the time goes?' , which Judy Collins subsequently used as the title track of her 1968 album after hearing All our own work ! The first full CD release of the first British folk-rock album the complete sessions, remastered. 24 tracks - the original album, out-takes and demos plus three previously unreleased demos.
