Is the first Fairport Convention songbook available anywhere? I've got number two, but I REALLY want the first one too :D Any ideas?

I've tried twice to get it through interlibrary loan with no luck.

Do you know what it looks like on the front cover? I have got a really old Fairport song book here that is in muted browns and rusty colours, with a young lad playing a flute under a tree, sitting beside a lion. Is that the one you are looking for? Copyright 1976, just entitled Fairport.

I think, Kiz, that you are refering to the one on the link Masato has supplied. The 76 orangey-minstrel-one Dipsodeb has has been out of print (probably since then, it never really had a market share!) and there was also a black & white cover one from the early 70s featuring Full House, Angel D. and Liege & Lief (from memory), that being well out of print! Most things are covered in Vol 1 or the one you have vol 2 of (bad grammar). Should be available still.
