Bridget St John (born Bridget Hobbs, 4 October 1946, South London) is a British singer and songwriter, best known for the three albums she recorded between 1969 and 1972 for John Peel's Dandelion label. Peel produced her debut album Ask Me No Questions. She also recorded a large number of BBC Radio and Peel sessions and toured regularly on the UK college and festival circuit. Her popularity peaked in 1974 when she was voted fifth most popular female singer in that year's Melody Maker readers poll.

An accomplished guitar player, she credits John Martyn as her guitar mentor.

The second album Songs for the Gentle Man, was produced by Ron Geesin. St. John then recorded another album after "Thank you for ..", namely Jumble Queen, for Chrysalis Records in 1974. She emigrated to Greenwich Village in 1976 and virtually disappeared from the public eye for over 20 years. She appeared at a Nick Drake tribute concert in New York in 1999, performing "Northern Sky" and "One of These Things First". She toured Japan in 2006 with the minimalist French musician Colleen.

Aside from work under her own name, Bridget St John has also recorded with Mike Oldfield (on Amarok), Kevin Ayers and Robin Frederick. In 2007 she reunited with Kevin Ayers to record on his album The Unfairground in New York. They duetted on the song "Baby Come Home".

She was described by John Peel as "the best lady singer-songwriter in the country".(Wikipedia)

Great sound quality, I have played this through in its entirety and it was a great joy!!! Bridget St. John was negelected in collector's cycles for a long time but is now recognized as one of the most prominent of British folk singer songwriters. This is FARRR RARER than one might think!! Only the third time in over 20 years I have had this!!!  NO skips or jumps. NO clicks or crackle, this is really a stunning heavy glossy jet black vinyl .  Inspected under an intense lightsource and angled.

        Gatefold Sleeve:  VG+ to EX!! No heavy creases. NO writing. The inside gatefold is also beautiful!! The spine is deadstraight and 100% legible. Some top and bottom rub/storage wear.

          Vinyl: EX. One small mark on the last track of side 2, no impact on the audio. Of course NO jumps , NO sticks or clicks. This is a great and very enjoyable vinyl that has not seen much play.

                    Labels: EX+. No marks , NO writing.

                                     The inner is plain white.

 This is  a great and seriously collectable super album!!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!
