Description

As well as featuring several, at the time, unreleased Bob Dylan songs, the album also marked Sandy Denny’s arrival as a songwriter, with “Who Knows Where The Time Goes" a song covered by many other performers and now regarded as a classic. The only traditional song on the album, “A Sailor’s Life", is seen as pivotal in the development of English folk rock music. Changes in the line-up of the band, due not only to its musical direction but also to external events, mark this album as a turning point in the band's history. 1969 was a prolific year for Fairport Convention; from What We Did on Our Holidays to Liege & Lief within twelve months represented a major development.

The title arose from the band playing the word game Ghostwhile traveling to and from gigs.[12] Its object was to "avoid completing a real word",[13] and "Unhalfbricking" was Sandy Denny's creation.[14] Eric Hayes took the photo on the sleeve design for the UK release, which featured neither album title nor band name. The photo captured Denny's parents, Neil and Edna Denny, standing outside the family home in Arthur Road, Wimbledon, south London, with the band distantly visible through the garden fence.
