GUEST,The Mole Catcher's unhangable Apprentice Folklore: John 'Babbacombe' Lee (24) RE: More on 'Babbacombe' Lee 28 Feb 08


Bonus tracks on the 2004 re-release, on CD of Fairport's Babbacombe Lee.

Farewell To A Poor Man's Son (Dave Swarbrick) 4'55"
Breakfast In Mayfair (Simon Nicol) 3'59"

These tracks were recorded in late 1974 for the BBC 2 documentary about John Lee narrated by Melvyn Bragg. The programme was broadcast in the BBC 2 "2nd House" Series as "The Man They Couldn't Hang - John Lee" on February 1, 1975. The tracks are performed by a different lineup of the band than performed on the original album, one formed after the departure of Simon Nicol and the return of lead singer Sandy Denny.

Personnel on these tracks are Dave Swarbrick, Dave Pegg, Dave Mattacks, Trevor Lucas, Jerry Donahue, Sandy Denny. Denny sings only on "Breakfast In Mayfair".
