This is a superb collection of recordings from the brilliant musicians that were playing in the folk clubs of the late sixties. Some of these guys are with us today but some such as Jo-Ann Kelly are sadly not.
I remember seeing most of these artists myself at the time and have fond memories of the ‘folk-blues boom’. It’s been a hard job deciding to let this record go to auction and it will be missed but I must clear all my vinyls prior to moving house.
The condition of the cover of this record is excellent with no marks, bends, creases or discolouration.
The vinyl is unmarked. There is some slight background noise on some tracks. This is only noticeable as the performances are acoustic and recorded at a low level.
