Ballad of Easy Rider

[Roger McGuinn]

Sandy Denny: vocal; Richard Thompson, Simon Nicol: guitars; Ashley Hutchings: bass; Dave Mattacks: drums.

This was Fairport Convention’s encore at the time. Recorded at Sound Techniques in 1969 as part of the Liege & Lief sessions, it was later released on Richard Thompson’s collection (Guitar, Vocal), on the Sandy Denny anthologies No More Sad Refrains and A Boxful of Treasures, and as bonus track of the 2003 reissue of Fairport Convention’s album Unhalfbricking.

A live version without Sandy was released in 1977 on the Island Records 2LP set Richard Thompson Live! (more or less).
