Warehouse find, last available copies. "Stamford Audio, in association with Fledg'ling Records and by special arrangement with the Sandy Denny Estate, is very proud to present the first pressing on beautiful 180 gram vinyl of Sandy Denny's first recordings, unavailable on vinyl until now! The five songs on this LP, recorded at home in London in 1967, capture Sandy proving her vocal and, on two songs, writing mettle at the age of 19, around the same time as her first professional recording sessions with the Saga label, but before her work with The Strawbs, Fairport Convention and Fotheringay. The beauty and purity of Sandy's vocals shine through on these haunting early recordings, setting the template for an all too short career as one of, if not the, finest female singer our shores produced." This is a short release (16 minutes approx), with acetate-quality sound sourcing; previously released on the Fledg'ling A Boxful of Treasures 5CD box.

Island Remasters series. Recorded at the Royalty Theatre in London on 11/27/77. "This was the last date in a November '77 tour after a two-year absence as well as the final performance of Denny's career -- she died less than five months later. Unreleased for 21 years, the concert tapes required guitar and background vocal repairs to remove some sonic disturbances. With a steel guitarist among the band members, there's a gorgeous sweep to the arrangements on Gold Dust. And Denny's voice, fragile at some moments and powerful at others, is simply an awe-inspiring instrument. Drawing from British and American folk, pop, and more, Gold Dust has a regal and spiritual quality that makes it timeless."
