Pictorial Fairport Convention Chronology

Fairport members in surname alphabetical order.
(Names in parentheses are "limited" members.)
(Albums in parentheses are collections issued in the relevant era.)
Compilation albums not released by Fairport themselves are not listed here.
The information on this page is sourced mainly from album sleeves and Pete Frame's charts.
The album links are mostly to the Fairport Fansite, mostly to the CD rather than LP version of each album. They dive into detail pages which are intended as frames. Some are to FC's official site.
If you spot any errors, please email me.
There is an alternative version of this page which excludes the pictures of the album covers.
