This is a fine recording of a short-lived and unrecorded Fairport line-up that toured the US around the time of the Babacombe Lee album. Line-up was only intact from 3/72-6/72 according to Fairport family tree from Fairport Unconventional Box on Free Reed (" Originally a London band, now Brummies"). I saw them at Avery Fisher Hall in NYC within days of this Ultrasonic performance. Simon and DM had left the band and Roger Hill and Tom Farnell were temporarily in. Some material here from Babacombe and a bit from Rosie.
