Description
Sale provides a unique and exceedingly rare opportunity, for beginners and established collectors of rare vinyl alike, to acquire an unplayed copy of the American Folk Blues Festival 1964 album, featuring various artists, including Sonny Boy Williamson, Howlin' Wolf and Sam "Lightnin'" Hopkins, to name but a few. Released in 1964, on the Fontana record label, this Mono Long Play, near mint vinyl record, with original near mint Fontana outer sleeve and liner bag, was acquired by the seller whilst working for the record company; in London during the late 1970's. Forming part disposal of the Company record library and as an unplayed file copy, this album was never played and has never been played since acquisition by the seller. Visually, the playing surfaces of the record are unblemished, as anyone wishing to finally play this rare LP would soon discover. Having been stored for many years, together with other rare records currently for sale on ebay and now forming part disposal of my own vast library of original 7" and 12" singles, EP's and albums, accumulated over many years, this is a reluctant sale of a truly treasured possession and a one-off opportunity to acquire this must-have addition to any seriously advanced vinyl record collection. Sale provides a golden opportunity for any fans of American folk and blues music, or indeed, anyone wishing to acquire original folk/blues memorabilia; or just generally interested in the music of the 1960's . The starting price for this auction reflects the condition of the disc, original Fontana outer sleeve and liner bag, which, other than displaying minimal handling wear to the outer sleeve and liner bag, are in terrific condition. So don't delay, start bidding, as I am confident that this rare and highly collectable album will not last very long. The rarity and condition of this item is reflected in the starting price of the auction.
For the technically minded ebayers amongst us, factory stampings and/or hand etchings on the centre "mirror" areas of the disc are as follows:
- Fontana TL 5225 Side 1 - 681522 1L // 1 inverted pyramid shape 420 - factory stamped during the manufacturing process
- Fontana TL 5225 Side 2 - 681522 2L // 1 inverted pyramid shape 420 - factory stamped during the manufacturing process
As part disposal of a vast personal collection of unplayed near-mint records, this auction marks the release of yet another very rare example.
