What was the title of the film and triple album made from the 1971 Glastonbury Fair?

The film and triple album made from the 1971 Glastonbury Fair were titled Glastonbury Fayre. The shared title reflects the event’s original identity before the festival settled into the modern name Glastonbury Festival.

The 1971 gathering took place from 20 to 24 June at Worthy Farm and featured performers including David Bowie, Joan Baez, Traffic, Fairport Convention, Hawkwind and Melanie. Nicolas Roeg and David Puttnam helped create the documentary film, released in 1972, which combined performances with footage of festival life.

The three-disc album was also released in 1972, but it was not a straightforward soundtrack. Although much of it was recorded live, it included material made elsewhere, including a Grateful Dead performance recorded at London’s Empire Pool. The film and album also contain no performances in common, making the identical title an easy source of confusion.
