The Best of Fairport Convention, 1969–1976

Several summers ago I spent a few months solid playing Alpha Centauri and listening to a mix tape my brother made from his Fairport Convention CDs. Though the cassette is lost (and who has a player anymore, anyway?), I’ve been carrying around the track list from apartment to apartment since, hoping to re-create it in iTunes.

Here is the track list, recorded for posterity and so I can finally pitch the tape liner note card before I lose it.
