Hey Gary,
Yeah, "Tale In Hard Time" is definitely Fairport's best, an absolutely
breathtaking song. Although there's nothing else quite that good on the
first three Fairport albums, you'll definitely hear a lot of songs that are
excellent pop/folk hybrids with tremendous harmonies and melodies, and
crackling guitar work. You won't be disappointed.

Take Care,

underrated album from 1968).
