PLEASE CONSIDER THAT IN THESE EBAY AUCTIONS I USE A STRICT RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEM THAT CAN'T DISAPPOINT ANYONE BUT THIS DOESN'T MEAN THAT ,FOR EXAMPLE, A VG+ COVER OR A VG+ VINYL IT'S EQUIVALENT TO "BAD CONDITIONS" BUT SIMPLY THAT MY GRADE IT'S STRICT AND PROBABLY EQUIVALENT TO AN EX OF SOMEONE ELSE WITH NOT A SO STRICT GRADE. I HAVE SOLD IN THESE AUCTIONS EX- RECORDS THAT WERE SURELLY M- COPIES BUT I PREFERE TO BE STRICT TO AVOID ANY DISAPPOINTEMENT BECAUSE I TAKE GREAT CARE OF MY REPUTATION.
The auctioned item it's one of the rarest album in the UK folk and one of the rarest lps in our catalogue, it's not mentioned on the Pokora Books at least the 4 I have at home and 1 copy has been sold on ebay in the far 2006 for 69 pounds but his collecting value it's largelly higher at least 4 stars on 6 for me.
graded VG++/VG++ for a strict Record Collector magazine grading system
label: the original Westwood label it's in nice conditions I can see a couple of marks around the center hole and no others marks hence EX- ...this is a very rare label that made very rare lps as Music Box, Peregrine, Jancis Harvey, The Harvesters, The Yardarm, Saga...
cover:the cover it's matt and flimsy pressed in some hundreds only probably less than 500...there's not serious defect but just the rights corners slightly creaseds and nothing else...I can't see any ring wear...just a very light upper edge wear...a strong VG++ for me.
vinyl: the vinyl it's in great shape with his brilliancy totally intact. . 1 mark on the first track side one...not feelable but with elephant ears I have heard 1 click under the sound ...maybe two but I'm not sure...but the level of this isolate noise can be considered of 1/2 on 10 points...hence nothing but I give a VG++ for this defect because the rest it's a clean EX with super brilliant sound and pressing.
review: The Pinnacle of this Folk label! An experienced folk collector as me know very well the usual standard of the rare folk stuff from UK and this is one of the best I have heard in my long career. Very similar to Dando Shaft first album on Youngblood for his superior use of Mandolin and for the great technical ability of the 2 members Mark Kjeldsen and Hugh Trethiwan superbly accompagned by Dave Lewry playing six string guitar and Brian Murray on Bass this it's not a merelly traditional album but his goal it's the superb acoustic freshness of sound very exciting in any moment mixed with a serious british sound, nostalgic, intense, very sweet sometimes. Form me this is an basic album in any folk collection and just for the beauty of his songs and nothing else...then it's a precious jewell too maybe the rarest or so on the label...I have managed the rarest UK folk albums but just 2 times in my life this lp and I can assure you that I'm a serious records hunter so. ... Don't miss this opportunity!!!
