In the Freereed Records tradition, another bang-up box set, this time of live music from the infamous Fairport gathering at Cropedy each year for the last 25. 4 thematic CDs: Bruised & Beaten Songs, Farewell 'Farewell', Blow Again and The Winding Road
plus a big book of details and photos, and lots of extras, as always.

Press from the label:
This is the Cropredy box-set fans have always wanted - it's both a perfect souvenir and a fitting celebration of the world's greatest folk rock festival; - and IF 2004's Cropredy Festival turns out to be the very last 'Cropredy-as-we-know-it' , this lavish set will prove the perfect commemoration of this unique era of English musical history.

This mighty set, jointly produced by Free Reed and Woodworm, contains four full-length themed CDs with booklets
* 136-page full-colour book (loads of rare pics from Fairport & fans) - the first full history of the festival's first quarter century, tracklists and in-depth interviews
* 'Walk Awhile' - a 48-page village guide to Cropredy
* a 'cut-out and build' model of the Festival

The music - 80% unreleased - is taken from Dave Pegg's archive of digital masters recorded at each & every festival.
