Description
Here we have a set of 2 very rare Scottish Folk LPs - The Golden Bird 1 and 2.
Released in 1968 by Oliver and Boyd - this is possibly a private pressing.

The covers are unlaminated with top and bottom flipbacks. They both display some rubbing and fingerprints. LP1 has a 1.5cm tear at the opening. Both have sticker marks in the bottom left corners.The rear covers are plan white - both are now showing discolouration, with ringwear visible on both.
The labels are rough-textured and are pristine. No signs of any spindle wear.
I suspect the vinyl is very little played. Under a strong light at 45 degrees, I can see paper scuffs but little else. I have played both LPs - no skips or jumps. On LP 1 - Side 2 track 2 there are 8 clicks. On LP2 - Side 2, track 2 there are 2 + 2 clicks. The records are a little crackly - I really can't see this is from groove wear, as the records look so little-played.
The records will be very securely packed in a box mailer with lots of extra padding.
