Full House: Vinyl LP

This re - issue of Fairport Convention's 'Full House' accurately recreates the original 1970 UK release on Island Records. It comes in a gatefold sleeve and is pressed on high - quality 180g vinyl. After their 1969 album 'Liege and Leif', the band, led by the charismatic fiddle - player Dave Swarbrick, delved deeper into traditional music. Vocalist Sandy Denny and bassist Ashley Hutchings left after 'Liege and Leif', making this the first Fairport album without a female voice since 1967. Guitarists Richard Thompson and Simon Nicol took vocal leads with Swarbrick, and with new bassist Dave Pegg and drummer Dave Mattacks, they released 'Full House' in July 1970. Recorded with Joe Boyd at London's Sound Techniques, the album continued their high standards. Four of the seven songs are adapted from traditional folk melodies like 'Dirty Linen' and 'Sir Patrick Spens', and the nine - minute 'Sloth' by Thompson and Swarbrick became one of their all - time anthems. The sleeve features fictional traditional British games, adding a fun touch.

To use this vinyl LP, first, make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the record on the turntable, center it, and drop the stylus onto the lead - in groove. Sit back and enjoy the rich, warm sound. When handling the record, always hold it by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the playing surface. After use, carefully place the record back in its gatefold sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Store the record vertically in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. If the record gets dirty, you can use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the vinyl.
