This new stand-alone 2 CD set titled Early Home Recordings collects 27 vintage 1960s (primarily 1966-67) recordings of pre-Fairport Sandy Denny. Carefully remastered, this package includes an exclusive new essay from Fairport Convention biographer Patrick Humphries – who knew Sandy personally.
Included are two different rare demos of her classic ‘Who Knows Where the Time Goes’ from 1967 (before she recorded it with Strawbs) and another from 1968.
‘She had this amazing talent, this incredible voice - she played Who Knows Where the Time Goes, and I nearly fell off my chair.' - Linda Thompson
Plus, a host of songs penned by Sandy including ‘Boxful Of Treasures’ which was later rewritten as the song ‘Fotheringay’ (from Fairport Convention’s What We Did On Our Holidays album). ‘Fotheringay’ also appears here in demo form.
“She needs to be re-evaluated. She wrote a kind of song that's very rarely written now - emotional, musically interesting, sung really well - serious songwriting. She was head and shoulders above the rest. And she remains so." - Ashley Hutchings (Fairport Convention founder)
Also featuring heartfelt covers of songs by Jackson C Frank, Fred Neil, Anne Briggs, Dylan, and many traditional folk songs.
The definitive collection of Denny’s early home demos authorized by her estate, with Sandy's daughter Georgia Lucas’ own charming drawings of her mother making their first appearance on an official Denny release, plus previously unpublished images of Sandy’s 1960s passport and driver’s license. And extensive sleeve-notes by re-issue producer Pat Thomas.
