This highly sought after set of TWO albums were from the collection of Mike Coxhead,a well known,succesful and respected British rock music industry businessman who also worked as a roadie and engineer for bands such as PINK FLOYD,THE WHO and LED ZEPPELIN and many more as well as being a guitarist and keen record collector!
The majority of the albums in this collection have not been played for years and are for the most part in Excellent condition,having been hardly played and when they were only played with extreme care on superb equipment!
The vast majority of copies sold of these albums were often played on poor equipment,in many cases taken to parties,not well cared for with no long term investment in mind!
Most that were buying FOLK albums in 1960 were usually using dreadful equipment or in folk clubs with beer spillage!
An ideal opportunity to add a pair of fine and rare albums in super condition to your collection that are bound to rise in value!
