FAIRPORT CONVENTION Feat: Dave Swarbrick Gottle O'Gear Lp 1976 1!. Condition is usae. Gottle O'Geer (credited to "Fairport" and to "Fairport Featuring Dave Swarbrick" in the US) is the eleventh studio album by English folk rock band Fairport Convention. The album was released through Island Records in May 1976.


The venture was originally intended to be a solo album for Swarbrick, who later said of it: "Gottle O'Geer, I would like to say once and for all was not ever supposed to be a Fairport album. It was to be my solo album, and I wish, along with most other people, that it had remained that way".


The album's title comes from the reputed inability of less skilled ventriloquists to pronounce "bottle of beer".
