NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME FAINT SURFACE MARKS MAINLY PATCHES LEFT BY THE SWEATING OF A PVC INNER SLEEVE AFTER YEARS OF BEING LEFT UNPLAYED,BUT THESE FAINT MARKS DO NOT SOUND AND THERE IS ONLY A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE.

********************************************************************
AS EVER WITH THIS FINE GROUP,SUPERB MUSICIANSHIP,SOME GREAT SOLOS,DELIGHTFUL HARMONY VOCALS AND OF COURSE TOP RECORDING PRODUCTION AS TYPICAL OF THE ISLAND LABEL!
A MAGNIFICENT EXPERIENCE THAT MUST HAVE BLOWN MANY MINDS AWAY BACK IN 1969 WHEN THE MAJORITY OF EQUIPMENT USED RUINED ANY COPY WITHIN JUST A COUPLE OF PLAYS.DON'T FORGET THOSE PARTIES WHERE SUCH LPs WERE PLAYED AND ENDED UP LEFT LYING AROUND WITHOUT A COVER OR ON A TURNTABLE TO WARP AND ATTRACT DUST AND DIRT,SPILLAGES,SCUFFS,SCRATCHES etc etc.
HARDLY ANYONE THOUGHT LONG TERM VALUE AND VERY,VERY FEW WOULD PLAY SUCH MUSIC IN THE SAME CAREFUL WAY THAT CLASSICAL BUYERS WOULD.THIS COPY IS THE EXCEPTION!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANY FAIRPORT CONVENTION FAN WILL WANT THIS AND ESPECIALLY AS A FIRST EDITION IN SUCH GREAT CONDITION-JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER COPY FROM AN EQUALLY LONG TERM EBAY SUPPLIER OF TOP QUALITY VINTAGE FOLK/ROCK!
NOT ONLY THAT, I HAVE A TRULY AMAZING SELECTION OF MORE ORIGINAL (MOSTLY)FIRST PRESSING FOLK AND PROGRESSIVE ROCK LPs ENDING SHORTLY BEFORE AND AFTER THIS LP ENDS INCLUDING MORE BY FAIRPORT CONVENTION.ALL HAVING JUST ONE PREVIOUS,CAREFUL OWNER!YOU REALLY MUST CHECK OUT MY EBAY LIST FOR MORE DETAILS AS WELL AS MY FEEDBACK!
THIS IS A LOVELY VINYL PRESSING.
This is a THICK PRESSING INDEED,different to the LATER THINNER pressings from later years with LATER label designs.
SO BACK TO THE DISC ITSELF>>>>>>
MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE OF THIS LP ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED ON TOP EQUIPMENT WITH ONLY MINOR SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE!
Copies of this album were sold in LARGE quantities but many were preserved like this one AS AN EARLY 3RD EDITION FROM 1969??
HARDLY USED AND NOT ABUSED!!!
THERE IS AMAZING BASS AND YET STILL CRISPNESS OF SOUND!
Vinyl is still the best way to hear FAIRPORT CONVENTION AND ALWAYS WILL BE!
GREAT SOUND!
MORE BASS THAN CD!
I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH. MANY EBAY SELLERS DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO PLAY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SELL!!!
BID WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE!!!!
There is NO spindle wear.Lovely labels!!!
The cover has some TINY edge creases and a little FAINT ring wear at the back,but is otherwise superb!
NO WRITING! NO RIPS! NO REPAIRS!
NO SELLOTAPE! NO STAINING! NO FADING!
MOST TURN UP WITH MAJOR WEAR!
Look elsewhere on ebay and you might see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often later 1980s represses or lower grade copies with all manner of faults OR WITHOUT THE DETAIL I AM PROVIDING WITH TOTAL HONESTY.
HOPEFULLY THE WINNER WILL FIND THIS A BIT BETTER THAN EXPECTED!!
Don't forget GENUINE 1st pressings in nice conditions are getting hard 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!
