Description
mary hopkin - those were the days, uk apple 1st original pressing, unlaminated sleeve. hopkin has a really nice voice and her earth song lp is almost prog folk, though her best lp may well be the odd budget welsh world release which sounds really really good. this lp is also worthy, we have to get past the ubiquity of the title track and delve deeper. its also quite a rare record and probably sold just the same as tea and symphony or comus.
graded cover / disc
vg++/ vg+++ lovely example, a smidgen of cover wear on the softly printed midnight blue unlaminated sleeve, a titchy spot of a sticker tear,and a little spine wear though the artist name is fully readable, otherwise jolly nice. the disc is also fine with 2 light surface hairlines that should not be audible and are not feelable. well worth having.
ive listed around 60 rare progressive, psych, folk and blues lps on ebay in a big clear out, please click other items if interested to see them all. they are all getting harder to find as the years go by, and prices and demand seems to have gone stratospheric.
all are 1st pressings, original uk editions.
all lps are placed in period/vintage plain paper inner sleeves. any generic polylined inner sleeves have been discarded as they are unsafe and damage lps, as per the policy of many serious collectors. old pvc lined inners are ageing, chemically unstable, and sticking to lps, paper inners are the only currently known way to avoid it. vertigo inners are retained and sent outside the covers to avoid damaging contact.
most photos show the fronts, backs, spine and labels so cover condition is fully visible in the photos.
lps listed include sam apple pie, hungry wolf, gerry lockran, mike westbrook love songs, shape of the rain, cressida, idle race, five day week straw people, dransfield, fuschia, rockin horse, gentle giant, and the now very rare aubrey small lp with insert.
grading is mainly visual, all the lps have been fully or partly tested mainly on the run in and first tracks, and any visible defects have been played through to see if theres any audible results.
tested on lenco/cyrus/tannoy 60s/70s equipment.
everything starts at 99p and theres no reserve prices!
POSTAGE - £5 for anywhere in europe and uk. if you bid from usa, japan, australia please wait for an invoice.
postage will be combined and reduced significantly for multiple wins, just wait for an invoice, if ebayers win a few lps postage will be free.
