The fourth album from the Fairport Convention, released in 1969, is considered by many to be the paramount of British folk-rock. After three solid albums that only hinted at their British roots, Leige & Lief is their first record to fully and completely embrace their home country. They roll through no less than four traditional British folk songs including an incredible "Tam Lin", along with quality originals that pay tribute to and expand on their rich tradition. This is the last Fairport Convention record to feature Sandy Denny and Ashley Hutchings, and though it is very British it is a classic of electric folk-rock of any variety. Deluxe 180 gram vinyl reissue with gatefold jacket.
