This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

'70s? With a career that extends from the mid-'60s to (thus
far) 2003, calling Fairport Convention '70s _anything_ seems
a bit ... well, inaccurate anyway. They definitely begin with
a '60s sensibility, and indeed were born at the heart of the
Hippy Era, '67.

Electric Folkies ... true, a data point on a spectrum with
them and the (to my mind preferable) Steeleye Span near one
edge (any farther and the "electric" falls off), and Jethro
Tull and Caravan on the other (any farther and the "folkie"
falls off). The Strawbs sort of fall in between there somewhere.

Now, if I can figure out any way to make a Wolfe tie-in out
of this ... H'mmm ... Nope.
