Lost Sandy Denny Recordings Unearthed
12:57 PM GMT 19/07/2010
A 19-disc Sandy Denny box set is set to emerge on October 4 on Universal Music Catalogue. In addition to 11 discs of the folk-rock siren's released material with Alex Campbell, Johnny Silvo, Fotheringay, Strawbs, Fairport Convention and solo, augmented by outtakes, live tracks and demo versions, there are eight (count 'em) CDs of bonus material - including unreleased BBC recordings, alternate takes, acoustic versions and rare radio interviews. Among the unreleased tracks is the legendarily long lost Lord Bateman, once intended for her first solo album, The North Star Grassman & The Ravens.
Artwork includes a 72-page, 11" square hardback book containing over 100 rare photographs, Denny's handwritten lyrics and memorabilia including a reproduction of the receipt for the starlet's first piano. The box set will be limited to only 3000 copies worldwide. A second edition, limited to 100 sets, is available only from the Island 50 web store. It comes with a framed print of the artwork, signed by the artist and individually addressed to each purchaser.
MOJO can exclusively preview the acoustic demo version of I'm A Dreamer, a gorgeous signifier of Denny's mid-'70s move into a more mainstream rock sound, but pre-dating the controversial Trevor Lucas arrangements that some fans feel obscured her last solo album, Rendezvous. Within a year of its May 1977 release, Denny would be dead, from complications following a fall down a staircase.
Here's I'm A Dreamer...
Denny's pure and lyrical voice remains arguably the definitive instrument of British folk-rock, driving the genres twin apogees, Fairport Convention's Liege & Lief and Unhalfbricking albums and duetting with Robert Plant on Led Zeppelin IV's The Battle Of Evermore.
You can pre-order the box set from this address. Meanwhile, keep an eye on MOJO4music.com for a Sandy Denny competition with a tempting, exclusive prize.

Sandy is at her best in such a setting, either simple acoustic demos such as this one or unadorned live shows like those on her Live at the Beeb box.
Can't wait to hear everything contained in the new box set!

As a fan of Sandy's since the original Who Knows etc box set came out on vinyl all those years ago, I have already ordered the new box with the artwork framed!!
It looks like a beautiful package and a fitting tribute to the late great Sandy Denny.
Am now wishing October would come quickly!

A place to be seen...
In a promise
there's the
light that
always remains
like a delicate
leaf in the
dark of a forest,
and there, in
your eyes, I
see beautiful
skies and a tender
relief.

El sonido de los sentimientos.
La noche me
llama, dulce
y llena de pasión;
escucho el aire
pasar suavemente
donde un vivo
destino cubre
la rima y la
timida suerte,
duermo en el
sueño de una
triste canción....

Douceur.
Marcher avec
toi est le
tendre cadeu
qui rappelle,
dans le son
du soleil, le
naturel chant
et la docile
doctrine.

Touch of harmony.
With white
colours recalling
sounds and a
sweet sensibility
you touch my
desire, the inner
relief and a
delicate sadness
that covers
the sun.

Clarté.
Je me sens
très las, quand
le son de la
neige doucement
disparaît comme
la voix mélodique
d'un chant très
heureux: j'écoute
l'atmosphère,
l'amour et la vie.

With hair falling over the shoulders.
In the soft
chirping of
the new day
there's a delicate
quietness, and
even a fantasy,
like a velvety
flight in the
sound of a word.
