Fotheringay 2
''Fotheringay 2'' is the second and final album by the group formed by Sandy Denny after she left Fairport Convention in 1969. The band was short-lived, and broke up in 1971 after only a small number of tracks for this album had been completed, some of which then subsequently appeared on other compilations. The remainder were assembled (posthumously in the cases of Denny and Trevor Lucas), with additional studio recording as needed, from masters in various states of completeness by Jerry Donahue and finally released in 2008. Two songs originally worked on for this album (''John the Gun'' and ''Late November'') were re-recorded and appeared on the first solo Denny album '' The North Star Grassman and the Ravens'' in 1971, with the latter featuring all Fotheringay members. Live versions of others had previously been known to collectors from recordings of BBC radio broadcasts and live concerts, as subsequently compiled on the 2015 release ''Nothing More: The Collected Fotheringay''. ...

Rendezvous (Sandy Denny Album)
''Rendezvous'' is the fourth and final studio album by English folk rock singer-songwriter Sandy Denny, released on Island Records in May 1977, and the final album released during her lifetime. Background Sandy Denny and Trevor Lucas left Fairport Convention at the end of 1975 and Denny embarked on ''Rendezvous'' in the spring of 1976. Trevor Lucas produced the album with a contemporary rock sound designed to turn Denny into a mainstream act. The album is now generally thought to be overproduced with an excess of strings, backing vocals and instrumental overdubs. Despite this the album is felt to contain some of her finest compositions, and showed someone continuing to widen and deepen their songwriting craft, and who was responsive to new influences: "Gold Dust" with its Caribbean feel; the soulful torch songs "Take Me Away" and "I'm A Dreamer"; and, most ambitious of all, a seven-minute orchestral tribute to the English pastoral symphony in the style of Vaughan Williams called ...
