Description
Daddy Longlegs Oakdown Farm Vertigo 6360038 UK 1st pressing The LP was released on the Vertigo ''Large swirl'' label in an unlaminated gatefold sleeve in 1971.
The vinyl appears to have been lightly played and is in great shape. It played through beautifully on my stereo. It is housed in its original, Vertigo swirl inner sleeve, which has some creasing and discolouration, but which is, otherwise, in good condition - no rips or writing. The unlaminated, textured gatefold sleeve is also in great shape, with minimal signs of use. The spine is intact and legible.

Review from Time Has Told Me Daddy Longlegs originally formed in 1968 with a line-up of Steve Hayton (guitar/vocals), Cliff Carrison (drums) and Kurt Palomaki (bass/clarinet) in their native America, but moved to England in 1969. They signed to Warner Brothers, recruited vocalist Mo Armstrong, and released the single, "High Again"/"To The Rescue" (WB 8012) and the "Daddy Longlegs" LP (WB 3004).
With both Armstrong and Hayton leaving soon after, Carrison and Palomaki recruited vocalist/pianist Pete Arnesen and guitarist/vocalist Gary "Norton" Holderman and became one of the first American acts to sign to Vertigo Records. The 12-track "Oakdown Farm" LP was released in 1971 (6360 038) and has remained a collectors item ever since.
This was the band's second album and has elements of country music to basic rock styles and is an authentic taste of that relaxed, open feel which is the essence of American rural culture.
