Description
This is a very good copy of a numbered limited edition reissue on the UK Tenth Planet label of a rare UK LP from 1969. The record was sold locally as a souvenir for attendees of a stage adaptation of Lewis Carroll's novel featuring original music by Peter Howell and John Ferdinando (whose names appeared on the front cover of the original, but are included only on the back of this reissue). The music on offer is mostly pastoral acoustic folk interspersed with snippets of live dialogue from the theatrical production, but there is a version of the poem "Jabberwocky" with some electric guitar and (at the end) backwards tapes. A charmer! The jacket looks fine, but does have some flaws around the edges: a 4” split in the bottom seam and a 2” split in the spine, as well as some creasing in the bottom corners and along the seams -- overall VG+. The jacket is hand numbered #579/1000. The disc has some hairline scrapes and dings, and a modest amount of scuffing, and plays with light surface noise and some light pops on side 2 (VG++).
I’m in the process of selling off a large personal collection amassed over two decades. All discs have been stored in plastic lined inner sleeves separate from their sleeves. The sleeves have been stored in plastic sleeves. I have play graded discs except where otherwise noted.
If you'd like to order multiple items, I'll happily combine them so that you won't have to pay multiple shipping charges.
