The limited edition 11CD + DVD set includes a 60-page book and reproduction memorabilia signed by members of the legendary 1970 Full House lineup. With 134 audio tracks, including 57 previously unreleased recordings, and over 100 minutes of BBC DVD content, fans can dive deep into Fairport Convention’s live performances and studio sessions. The box set also features mastering by Eroc and contributions from noted music writers Graeme Thomson, Patrick Humphries, Nigel Schofield, Colin Irwin, and Mat Snow.

The ‘Fairport Convention ‘It All Came Round Again: Onstage And On Air 1982-1990’ Boxset is set for release on Madfish on 26th July, with pre-orders available on the official Madfish website.
