Cover FAIRPORT CONVENTION SONGBOOK

This book of song lyrics was produced by 10 enthusiasts in the Stationsdwarstraat commune in Utrecht, Holland by transcription from the records. It is unlikely that it was officially sanctioned but the object of it's publication was to raise money for a World Aid Project in Mozambique.

It was published in an edition of 1500 copies printed by stencil duplication (140 pages)
Price: H.FL 5.00 		Early 1972
The first 14 pages are in Dutch including 2 pages of corrections. The other 12 pages are split into 3 sections:
  1. The history of Fairport Convention
  2. The musical background of Fairport Convention
  3. The History and musical background of related groups
The rest of the book is in English
