''What We Did on Our Holidays'' is the second album release by the band Fairport Convention and was the first to feature Sandy Denny, whose "haunting, ethereal vocals gave Fairport a big boost", according to Allmusic's reviewer.〔 The album also showed a move towards the folk rock for which they became noted, including tracks later to become perennial favourites such as "Fotheringay" and the song traditionally used to close live concerts, "Meet on the Ledge".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fairport Convention: Meet on the Ledge )〕 ==History== Following the departure of Judy Dyble, the band conducted auditions for a replacement singer, and Sandy Denny became the obvious choice. Simon Nicol has said "it was a one horse race really...she stood out like a clean glass in a sink full of dirty dishes".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sold on Song – Song Library – Who Knows Where The Time Goes )〕 The album has been described by author Richie Unterberger as "a near-ideal balance between imaginative reworkings of traditional folk songs ... quality covers of contemporary folk-rock singer-songwriters, some quite obscure ... and original folk-rock material by various members".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 THE BIRTH AND HEYDAY OF FAIRPORT CONVENTION )〕 Simon Nicol has cited the album as his favourite.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Fairport Convention – Keeping Cropredy in the Happy Family )〕 The cover features a sketch of the band performing, described in the album credits as "from a blackboard assaulted by Fairport Convention"〔Liner notes〕 and the reverse of the original sleeve a photograph of the band performing. The Island Masters 1990 re-release IMCD 97 also features a portrait of Sandy Denny. In the USA, the album was released by A&M Records (SP-4185), containing an identical track listing but featured new cover art, and was retitled "Fairport Convention."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fairport Convention: What We Did on Our Holidays )〕 In 2008 Four Men With Beards released a 180 gram version of the album that is being distributed by (City Hall Records ). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「What We Did on Our Holidays」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
