"MINERS DANCES"

ORIGINAL MONO 1966 ISSUE!!!!

THIS LP TURNS UP FROM TIME TO TIME BUT USUALLY A LATER REPRESS WITH THINNER VINYL-THIS IS THE VERY 1ST MONO EDITION WITH THE ROUGH TEXTURE LABEL AND THICK VINYL.

HARDLY ANYONE BOUGHT THIS IN 1964.

TOPIC RECORDS WERE NOT ALWAYS SOLD IN"NORMAL"RECORD SHOPS,OFTEN IN SMALL SPECIALIST SHOPS,EVEN BOOKSHOPS OR BY MAIL ORDER-THE PRINT RUN WAS JUST A FEW THOUSAND,MOST BOUGHT BY FOLK FANS OR FOLK CLUBS WITH THE MAJORITY RUINED WITHIN A FEW PLAYS ON LESS THAN WONDERFUL EQUIPMENT! 

THIS IS THE BEST COPY I HAVE SEEN IN MANY YEARS OF DEALING AND HAS A VERY TEMPTING LOW START PRICE OF £10!

THIS LP IS A MUST FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE GENRE AND MAY NEVER TURN UP AS GOOD AGAIN!!!

A GREAT WAY TO INVESTIGATE THE LABEL WITH TRACKS PREVIOUSLY ISSUED ON EPs AND LPs.

THE COVER LISTS THE LPs AND EPs FROM WHERE TH TRACKS ARE TAKEN FROM+AN EXCELLENT SLEEVE NOTE BY KARL DALLAS.

THIS IS THE 1ST THICK PRESSED ROUGH TEXTURE TOPIC LABELS IN SOLID MONO: TPS 114

A STRICTLY GRADED NEAR MINT CONDITION COPY THAT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED IN THE LAST 45 YEARS AND WILL BE HARD TO IMPROVE UPON! 

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN AFFORDABLE/ACURATE AND STRICTLY GRADED 1ST MONO PRESSING,

-THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!

ORIGINAL UK MONO 1ST PRESSINGS ARE GETTING VERY RARE,ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AND CAN FETCH £20+ IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.

TOPIC WAS"THE"LABEL FOR FOLK MUSIC IN THE 1960s AND ARE STILL  KEENLY SOUGHT AFTER IN 2009!    

IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD  EXPERTS/DEALERS.  

NOW HERE IS SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL!

AN ORIGINAL 1ST UK EDITION OF AN INTERESTING 1964 ALBUM ISSUED ON THE TOPIC LABEL.

SO BACK TO THE DISC ITSELF>>>>>> 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE OF THIS LP ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED WITH ONLY THE FAINTEST OF SURFACE MARKS IN STRONG LIGHT AND THAT IS BEING STRICT.

THERE IS AMAZING BASS AND YET STILL CRISPNESS OF SOUND!.

NO CLICKS, STICKS OR JUMPS! 

I have played it TWICE to ENSURE AN ACURATE GRADE!

Vinyl is still the best way to hear FOLK!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

There is NO spindle wear.Tax duty label on one of the labels.  

The Glossy front cover has some tiny edge creases, BUT NO WRITING/RIPS OR REPAIRS!

IT IS A JOY IN ITSELF-SO MANY FOLK LP COVERS ARE DIRTY!!! 

Look elsewhere on ebay and you MIGHT see another copy-Look closer and you will find they are often later 1970s/1980s represses or lower grade copies with all manner of faults OR WITHOUT THE DETAIL I AM PROVIDING WITH TOTAL HONESTY.

HOPEFULLY THE BUYER WILL FIND THIS A BIT BETTER THAN EXPECTED!!

Don't forget GENUINE 1st pressings in nice conditions are getting almost impossible to find! 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!

Realistic £10 STARTING price with no annoying reserve. An instant fast sale price in any collectors record shop!!  

THIS IS A GREAT CHANCE TO OWN A PIECE OF FOLK HISTORY. A GREAT INVESTMENT!
