Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music!

Original 1969 first press of a legendary female UK folk-underground collectible
For many British folkrock collectors, this is one of the greatest albums of all time.
side A is a song cycle detailing the decline of traditional English folk customs due to the slaughter of a whole generation of men during the First World War.
Side B is a collection of traditional songs.
The album is built upon the untutored, but engaging and honest vocals of Shirely Collins and the pipe organ by her sister Dolly plus a gathering of medieval instruments such as crumhorns, sackbuts, cornetts, and rackets that are the forerunners of today's modern string and wind instruments. These instruments sound at once familiar and other worldly - unlike anything else you'll ever hear. well, unless you're into medieval music.
Some of the songs here are absolutely heartbreaking - in particular, during Side A's medley, The Blacksmith, Our Captain Cried and Lowlands Away (not sure if they're the actual titles of the specific songs though), and least not forget The Yowes and God Dog are truly astonishing.
Still stands up after some 47 years as one of the most important, and greatest, folk albums of the late British sixties.
