     Fairport Convention in its early years was to British folk-rock what the
     Byrds were to the genre's American bookend. Boasting in their heyday a
     frontline of Sandy Denny, Richard Thompson, and Iain Matthews, the group's
     impact has, if anything, grown in the years since the classic lineup split
     up. Fairport's stature is largely attributable to the ongoing popularity of
     Brit-folk touchstones Liege and Lief and Unhalfbricking, as well as
     Thompson's continued high-caliber solo work. Meet on the Ledge offers 32
     tracks on two CDs, ranging from the band's somewhat awkward pre-Denny 1967
     recordings and on into the mid-'70s, nearly a half-decade after Thompson
     had moved on. Instructive liner notes and a smattering of rare and
     previously unreleased tracks make this anthology an exceptional starting
     point for those who haven't immersed themselves in Fairport Convention and
     the movement they cultivated.
