Sandy Denny: Gold Dust – Live At The Royalty 12″ (RSD 2022)

Description

Gold Dust: Live At The Royalty, featuring highlights from Sandy Dennys final concert, is making its debut on vinyl. Recorded just months before her untimely death in 1978, this special release attempts to present the record that Sandy might have released had she lived. The concert features a career-spanning set that includes songs taken from her band Fotheringay, Sandys solo albums (The North Star Grassman and the Ravens, Sandy, and Rendezvous), as well as her work with Fairport Convention on the albums Unhalfbricking and Rising for the Moon. This final performance perfectly captures the folk-rock sound with a stellar group of musicians including Trevor Lucas, Jerry Donahue, Pat Donaldson, Dave Mattacks, among others. It showcases the quality of Sandys songwriting throughout her career and includes her signature composition, Who Knows Where the Time Goes? which was the first song she ever wrote and No More Sad Refrains which closed her final album. Remastered from the restored tapes, this release features Sandys spoken introductions to each song, comprehensive sleeve notes, and brand-new artwork designed specifically for this release.
