“Beauty is relative.  So is warmth and hate – the songs of P.F. Sloan have beauty, warmth and hate, for they speak of life.  The voice that sings these songs is a gentle voice; a warm voice; a voice of life.

 

The voice belongs to Barry McGuire, a young man of Irish extraction with the build of a lumberjack, a mass of unruly blond hair and a face which shoots in fifty directions when he smiles.  His was the deep, sandpapery voice you heard on the big Cristy Minstrels hit, “Green, Green”.  His is the same voice you hear on one of the biggest hits of 1965 – the much discussed “Eve of Destruction”.”

I am NOT a Business Seller – All my records come from my personal collection and I do my utmost to grade them to the best of my ability.  What I hear and What I see is reflected in my grading of the condition of both the vinyl and the covers.

 

 

I Discount P&P when anyone buys more than one item from me

 

 

I have quoted 2 levels of postage - one is International Signed For  which is insured, and the other is standard airmail which is not insured and therefore at your own risk.

I highly recommend you take the first option should your bid be successful.

 

The prices quoted are not just for the postage, but include my packaging costs.

All Records are sent in Defenda Music Max Boxes which have been especially designed to protect Vinyl Records when posting.

I also use extra bubble wrap packing,

All parcels have printed labels - Fragile and Do Not Bend -  and are sellotaped

Securely.
