Fire - The Magic Shoemaker

UK original vinyl LP in textured sleeve. Stereo. Light blue Pye Records label. 1970.

A-2/B-2 matrix.

In January 1970, Fire began recording The Magic Shoemaker, a concept album about a shoe cobbler named Mark and his pair of magic shoes which allow the hero of the story to fly. On this album, the band was assisted by the Strawbs' Dave Cousins on banjo, and guitarist Paul Brett (of Velvet Opera).

The rest is history. A masterpiece, and one of the most sort after LPs of the Prog/Psych era.

Personnel:
David Lambert - vocals, keyboards, guitar, spoken narrative
Dick Dufall - bass, vocals
Bob Voice - drums, vocals
Dave Cousins - banjo
Paul Brett - guitar
Ray Hammond - producer

Tracks:

A1. Children Of Immagination
A2. Tell You A Story
A3. Magic Shoes
A4. Reason For Everything
A5. Only A Dream
B1. Flies Like A Bird
B2. Like To Help You If I Can
B3. I Can See The Sky
B4. Shoemaker
B5. Happy Man Am I
B6. Children Of Imagination

CONDITION:  As you can see from my photos the fragile unlaminated textured sleeve has a fair amount of wear arond the edges, spine, and on the corners. There is some light creasing. The colours remain clear and vivid. There is some nasty sticker damage on the front. This LP often ended up in the bargain bins after it's release and it would seem that a large 'Sale' price sticker has been rather carelessly removed at some point. Labels are bright and clean, with only a few spindle marks. The vinyl itself has a couple of light paper scuffs from sleeve removal, but it would appear that the LP has hardly been played at all, and I would happily grade as Ex+

All Records Are Strictly Graded To Record Collector Standard, Sleeve Graded First.
