Description
Unhalfbricking is the third album by the British folk rock band Fairport Convention and their second album released in 1969. It is seen as a transitional album in their history and marked a further musical move away from American influences towards more traditional English folk songs that had begun on their previous album, What We Did on Our Holidays[1] and reached its peak on the follow-up, Liege & Lief, released later the same year.[2]
Although 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 album also gave the band their first UK chart success, reaching number 12 in the UK album chart (the second highest position in the band's entire career), while the single release, "Si Tu Dois Partir", achieved number 21 in the UK singles chart.

FURTHER NOTE ON PACKAGING AND POSTING: I have been asked whether I would bundle albums to reduce postage costs. I use strong edge protective record mailers with bubble wrap that cost about £1.50 each package plus postage. I believe these will take up to 5 single LP's without too much strain. The only additional cost will be increased postage, which I will advise after the bidding process finishes. Thank you and good luck.
