Sandy Denny - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 29th April 1973 | Albums That Should Exist

 Sandy Denny - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 4-29-1973

Paul says: The flood of Ebbets Field radio broadcasts continues. You may have noticed I'm trying to post one of these each day. Here's one from folk singer Sandy Denny.

Denny was a member of Fairport Convention from 1968 to 1969. She left to pursue a solo career. She rejoined Fairport Convention from 1974 to 1975. I have two albums of that band performing at Ebbets Field in 1974 when she was a member. That will be coming soon. 

She was pretty popular in Britain. She even won "Best British Female Singer" in a readers' poll for Melody Maker magazine in 1970 and 1971. But she was far less well known in the U.S., which helps explain why she was performing in this small club that seated 250 people at most. Her most recent album at the time of this concert was "Sandy," in 1972.  

So far, I believe all the concerts I've posted from this venue have been officially unreleased. But this one came out as part of the 2012 deluxe edition of the "Sandy" album. That said, the recording was still pretty raw, with some sonic imbalances. So I made some changes with the MVSEP program.

This album is 32 minutes long.

Now there aren’t many Sandy boots to rather ROIOs and fewer on her own without the Fairports or Fotheringay so this is a pleasure and worth it to sign off the day with [more over the weekend I dare say!]

Enjoy! I did
