The 1980s may have been the decade of questionable fashion choices, but we'll probably say the same about the 2020s in a few years…

A fantastic collection of American choral classics ranging from Thompson’s sublime Alleluia to the terrific choral arrangement of Gershwin’s Summertime from Porgy and Bess.

Fairport Convention, live from the Fillmore East in 1970 Fairport Convention’s attempt to reinvigorate traditional English folk music succeeded against a cultural backdrop of loud guitars and nascent stadium rock similar to the folk revival across the Atlantic. With Liege & Lief having given the band a foothold at home and in America, their next album Full House would have to work harder to consolidate on the success, with the absence of Sandy Denny’s vocal charisma and two new members. History has of course taught us that this revised line-up would become the definitive version and Full House would become their most widely acclaimed album before Richard Thompson opted to move out. Touring across the USA with Jethro Tull at Fillmore West and Traffic and Mott The Hoople at Fillmore East, Fairport’s US trek saw a revitalised band eager to please and comfortable in its own skin, and after 5 albums in the space of 2 years, that was a rarity. London Calling revisits the first and last night of their celebrated 3 nightly run at the Fillmore East in June 1970. Presented with a fully restored and professionally remastered original WNEW-FM broadcast, this special edition also features background notes and timeline photos.

The story of the Allman Brothers Band is one of triumph, tragedy, redemption, dissolution, and more redemption. During the early '70s, they were arguably the most influential rock group in America, thanks in no small part to At Fillmore East (a high-water mark for concert albums), that redefined the scope of rock's musical boundaries. Duane Allman and Dickey Betts pioneered the twin-lead guitar sound so prevalent during the decade that continued well into the 21st century. The group placed an emphasis on musicianship, in seamlessly melding rock, blues, jazz, and R&B with extended improvisation.
