Nine is the ninth album by the British folk rock group Fairport Convention and, according to Allmusic, is their most uneven. It is their second album to feature Trevor Lucas and Jerry Donahue, and features no original members of Fairport Convention.
Polly on the Shore was re-recorded by the 21st-century lineup of Fairport Convention (featuring only Dave Pegg from the Nine-era lineup) for their album Sense of Occasion in 2007, with Simon Nicol on lead vocals. The same lineup later re-recorded The Hexhamshire Lass in a new arrangement for 2012's By Popular Request. This version featured Chris Leslie on lead vocals.
Bonus tracks recorded live at The Howff, London on April 23, 1973.
