"Originally released in 1972 for Elektra, In Search Of Amelia Earhart was a critically-acclaimed concept album inspired by Amelia Earhart's mysterious disappearance in 1939. For this album, Ian Matthews, who had released a flurry of excellent albums since leaving Fairport Convention, once again proves his talent as a song smith with songs like 'True Story of Amelia Earhart's Last Night' and 'Even The Guiding Light.' He also continues his research into the folk song, sharing his favorites with fans through a handful of outstanding covers, including Dave McEnry's 'Amelia Earhart's Last Flight' and Paul Siebel's 'Louise.' Matthews also, as always, has a talent for surrounding himself with excellent musicians, this time employing the help of Andy Roberts, Dave Richards and Bob Ronga." 180 gram vinyl.

"Adored by the New-Folk elite, this short lived, but extremely influential folk-rock outfit only last about a year and a half, but the music has stood the test of time. Fronted by former Fairport Convention singer Iain Matthews, Plainsong found him and his muse continuing to explore the British strain of folk rock pioneered by his former band while looking toward the West Coast country-rock of Gene Clark and Gram Parsons, a path he would follow more during his solo career. A huge influence on everyone from Devendra Banhart and Vetiver to Appendix Out and Four Tet. This 40 track 2CD set includes the only official album, In Search of Amelia Earhart (never available on CD in the US), the unreleased second album, plus various live tracks."
