Sandy Denny – Like An Old Fashioned Waltz

Description

Release Date 11th November

Long out of print on LP, this re-issue faithfully replicates the original 1977 Island Records UK release with lyric inner sleeve and is pressed onto high quality 180g vinyl.

Known for her time as vocalist in Fairport Convention and respected globally , Sandy Denny left a beguiling, ever-evolving body of work – Kate Bush was to namecheck her in song, and Denny’s influence 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.
