| Fairport Convention - Liege & Lief
|
(Island ILPS-9115 UK-69 VG+ 1000:-)
A record that really has Fairport Convention knocking it out of the park – making a bold turn towards British traditional music, but in a way that imbues these relics with a whole new life of their own!
Sandy Denny's vocals are incredible – like a thing unlocked from some ancient vault – and they're given this wonderful focus through the growing complexity of Richard Thompson's guitar work. The result is tremendous – tunes that are completely transformed, as a touchstone for generations.

| Family - Anyway
|
(Reprise RSX 9005 UK-70 VG+ 350:-)
Family's were active from late 1966 to October 1973. Their style has been characterised as progressive rock, as their sound often explored other genres, incorporating elements of styles such as folk, psychedelia, acid rock, jazz fusion, and rock and roll.
"Anyway" was a stopgap album between "A Song for Me" and "Fearless", evenly divided between a concert side and a studio side.
UK tan 'steamboat' label LP, wraparound picture sleeve with lyrics inside within a textured gold titled PVC envelope sleeve.

| Fever Tree - For Sale
|
(Ampex A-10113 US-71 EX 400:-)
A Psychedelic Rock band originating in Houston, Texas. They began in 1966 as a folk rock group called The Bostwick Vines but changed their name to Fever Tree a year later.
Their fourth, and last album, is a revolutionary psychedelic album with hints of folk-pop and rare groove (owing to a little help from master drummer Hal Blaine). The record shows up a slight gospel tinge, thanks to backup vocalists the Blackberries. A must have Texas psych highlight!

| Fields - Fields
|
(CBS S-69009 UK-71 VG/VG+ 600:-)
An overlooked trio from the glory days of the UK prog scene! The a group is named after its keyboardist Graham Field, who first rose to fame in Rare Bird! The approach here is a bit similar – a nice lean take on prog styles – with fantastic work on drums from Andrew McCulloch, and vocals, bass, and guitar from Alan Barry – a singer who's soaring sound really fits the style of the record!
Original UK pressing. The sleeve shows normal wear and is graded VG; no poster...

| Fontana, Wayne - Eric, Rick, Wayne, Bob
|
(Fontana TL-5257 UK-65 VG+ 375:-)
Wayne Fontana didn’t start out as Wayne Fontana. He was originally Glyn Geoffrey Ellis, taking his stage name from Elvis Presley’s drummer, DJ Fontana. He had already been in a band called Wayne Fontana and the Jets before forming the Mindbenders, which also included bassist Bob Lang, drummer Ric Rothwell and guitarist Eric Stewart, who would later be one of the original members of 10cc.
"Eric, Rick, Wayne, Bob" was their second album.

| Frantic - Conception
|
(Lizard A-20103 US-70 VG+ 500:-)
Frantic (from Billings, Montana) was one of those bands that got caught in popular music’s turbulent transition from the ‘60s’ to the ‘70s; lost between the previous decade’s fading psychedelic/acid/garage rock tendencies and the next’s looming hard/heavy/punk rock trends.
Frantic’s sole long-player shared a savage streak with contemporaneous releases like The Litter’s "Emerge", The Frost’s "Frost Music", and Josefus’ "Dead Man", even the MC5’s "High Time", to name but a few.

| Frijid Pink - Defrosted
|
(Deram SML-1077 UK-70 VG+ 600:-)
Frijid Pink came from Detroit and specialised in a brand of soulful rock typical of the city that gave birth to Motown.
Their second album - ‘Defrosted’ - is more blues-based hard rock, verging towards heavy metal than its predecessor, yet still contains their characteristic signature ‘fuzz guitar’ sound that featured prominently on the group’s debut LP.

| Frith, Fred - Guitar Solos
|
(Caroline C-1508 UK-74 VG+ 400:-)
An incredible album from guitarist Fred Frith – his solo debut, and a record that really set the tone for so many other musicians for years to come!
Frith wasn't the first person to improvise on the guitar – but he might have been the first to use an electric in ways that tied together new ideas in jazz, prog, and other experimental musics – all at a level that made his playing a hero to many different scenes at once, and really helped open ears to all the different changes that were taking places in the 70s! The whole thing is a monstrous musical message from the pre-punk years – one that has really strong resonance all these many years later.
