Like An Old Fashioned Waltz: Vinyl LP
Release date: 11 November, 2022
Known for her time as vocalist in Fairport Convention and respected globally as Robert Plant's frst Alison Krauss (duetting with him on Led Zeppelin's The Battle Of Evermore), Sandy Denny left a beguiling, everevolving body of work - Kate Bush was to namecheck her in song, and Denny's infuence can be heard in generations of singer-songwriters
Although recorded throughout the previous year, Like An Old Fashioned Waltz was released in early 1974, soon after Denny had re-joined Fairport Convention. An unashamedly romantic, sentimental album, it contains her much loved tracks Solo and No End, and a rollicking version of Fats Waller's Until The Real Thing Comes Along with Diz Disley on guitar, Danny Thompson on bass and Tony Coe on sax. The other cover on the album was that of the Inkspots' Whispering Grass which emphasised Like An Old Fashioned Waltz's warm autumnal nostalgia.
Out of print on LP for a number of years, this re- issue faithfully replicates the original 1974 Island Records UK release with its embossed gatefold sleeve and is pressed onto high quality 180g vinyl.
