Details: - This is part of my Personal Private Press Folk/Psych/Prog Collection which I have spent many years acquiring - all are Originals!! No reissues/Replicas etc, I acquired them many years ago and only purchased the genuine copies, most of them have a very limited pressing (being private pressings) and range from 99 copies to just a few hundred, You will not see some of these come up for sale again for a very long time, if at all!!!
On offer here is the incredibly rare UK Album by "Madrigal" called "Beneath The Greenwood Tree" on their own privately pressed label - Run out/Matrix side 1 MAD 100 A/ side 2 MAD 100 B
Rarity:- Very Rare this is the original 1st UK release of this album with the Pasted on Sleeve Artwork (that shows creases from the homemade gluing) plus the Textured label with Royalties Sticker.

Post/Packing: UK - £5.50, Europe - £7.50, World £11.50 * buy multiple items and save on postageI use professionally made box packers (not thin mailers) with added card stiffeners & bubble wrap, I always remove the record from the album cover for storage and for packing!! I always send my records out this way so that they arrive with the customer as they left me, my postage charges reflect this care, please don't bid if you object to these.
I use lots of photos to show as accurately as possible what you are getting (also I don't cut the corners of the record sleeve off the picture!!)
Gradings: I use the standard UK gradings as set out in Record Collector Magazine below:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
Near Mint, EX+, VG+ etc are acceptable additions to help `fine tune` descriptions for the buyer
