The Power of the True Love Knot
with guests mike heron and robin williamson  from the incredible string band

WHEN IT COMES TO RARE ALBUMS, THEN THIS IS ONE OF THEM. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESS, AND NOT A NEW ALBUM, OR REISSUE, BUT THE GENUINE 1968 ONE, SO VERY RARE, AND EVEN RARER WHEN IT IS IN THIS LOVELY CONDITION. BEAUTIFUL AUDIO, AND LOVELY COVER, AND FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1ST PRESS :: A//1 :: B//1 .
ON THE RED POLYDOR LABEL :: 583025 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL FULLY LAMINATED, AND PRINTED AND MADE BY ERNEST J. DAY & Co, Ltd, LONDON W.11. THIS IS IN LOVELY CONDITION WITH THE EDGES AND SPINE HAVING NO RUB AND IN GREAT CONDITION. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND TO LOOK AT THE COVER IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE IT IS 51 YEARS OLD !! AGAIN SUPERB LAMINATE, WITH JUST A SMALL BIT OF LAMINATE LIFT ALONG THE SPINE SIDE EDGE ON THE FRONT TOWARDS THE BOTTOM, AND JUST SOME SURFACE LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES. NO WRITING, SPLITS, OR ANY THING ELSE, AND THE WHOLE COVER IS NICE AND CLEAN, SO I WOULD GRADE, A VERY VERY STRONG  :: EX . 

VINYL  :: THIS PLAYS VERY WELL, AND EVEN BETTER NEWS, IS THERE IS NO STATIC !!! AS THIS IS A FOLK ALBUM, THERE ARE LOTS OF QUIETER TRACKS, SO NO NASTY STATIC TO SPOIL YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE. DUE TO THE RARITY OF THIS VINYL, I WILL DO A TRACK BY TRACK AUDIO DESCRIPTION, TO GIVE YOU THE BEST AUDIO DESCRIPTION, RATHER THAN SAY VG OR EX. I WILL LOSE SOME BIDS BY BEING SO HONEST, BUT I WILL NOT LOSE ANY SLEEP, AS I HAVE BEEN AS HONEST AS I POSSIBLY CAN >>>>>>>>>>

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: THERE IS A VERY FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE AND THREE FAINT TICKS TOWARDS THE END .

NOW VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FINE, AND WHEN HELD UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE QUITE A FEW COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, SOME SMALL FINE COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A SLIGHTLY FEELABLE FINE LINE ON TRACK 2 ON SIDE 1. ALSO A TINY SLIGHTLY FEELABLE MARK AT THE END OF THE SAME TRACK, WHERE YOU CAN HEAR THOSE FAINT POPS AS MENTIONED ABOVE. I CAN ASSURE YOU THERE IS NOTHING INTRUSIVE OR OVER THE AUDIO, AS EVEN BETWEEN TRACKS THERE IS NO UNWANTED NOISE. A TRULY BEAUTIFUL VINYL TO LISTEN TO, AND DUE TO HOW RARE AND COLLECTABLE IT IS, I WILL GRADE THE AUDIO ON THE SAFE SIDE, AND SO GRADE THE AUDIO  ::  EX  .  

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN, JUST A COUPLE OF VERY FAINT SMALL SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE, SEEN ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, AND A FAINT STAMP MARK ON BOTH LABELS, PLEASE SEE PHOTOS, THANK YOU. :: EX .

ORIGINAL INNER :: NO WRITING, JUST A TINY SEAM SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND A BIT OF AGEING. THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NICE POLYLINED INNER, ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL  :: VG+ .
