ATTENTION FOLK MUSIC COLLECTORS!

I HAVE JUST BOUGHT ONE OF THE FINEST AND MOST IN DEPTH FOLK ALBUM COLLECTIONS THAT I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS WITH SELECTIVE ITEMS FOR EBAY VIEWING AND BIDDING! KEEP ME IN YOUR FAVOURITES FILE AS I WILL BE ADDING SELECTIONS FROM THIS COLLECTION OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND MONTHS UNTIL THEY ALL SELL!

SOME OF THE ALBUMS MAY HAVE NOT BEEN SEEN ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE IN YEARS.EVEN SOME OF THE REISSUES AND COMPILATIONS OF AROUND 30 YEARS AGO ARE GETTING REALLY HARD TO TRACK DOWN,ESPECIALLY IN DECENT CONDITION! THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS ALSO INTERESTED IN BLUES AND EARLY COUNTRY MUSIC-SOME OF THESE LPs TO BE SEEN ON MY WEEKLY EBAY LISTINGS.

HE BOUGHT SOME OBSCURE ARTISTS ALONGSIDE THE ALL TIME GREATS AND AS SUCH THIS IS A VERY EXCITING COLLECTION INDEED!

HERE IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE TO CONSIDER THAT YOU MAY SPEND YEARS LOOKING FOR AS AN ORIGINAL ISSUE!!!!!!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

SHIRLEY COLLINS

"THE SWEET PRIMEROSES"

This LP also features DOLLY COLLINS playing the Flute Organ + SHIRLEY plays the guitar or a 5 string banjo on a few of the tracks.There are male back up vocals on a couple of the tracks but no credit for the singers. 

A SUPERB ORIGINAL COPY OF ONE OF THE HARDEST TO FIND FOLK ALBUMS OF THE 1960s ISSUED ON THE TOPIC DARK BLUE LABEL!  

1967 TOPIC 12T170 -I AM SURE THERE WAS NO STEREO PRESSING OF THIS LP AS TOPIC MAINLY ISSUED MONO LPs THROUGHOUT THE 1960s AND THE VARIOUS PRICE GUIDES DO NOT LIST A STEREO EDITION!

THICK VINYL AND CLEAN LABELS! 

MOST COPIES HAVE NOW ENDED UP IN LONG TERM COLLECTORS COLLECTIONS AND ARE GETTING LESS FREQUENT ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE IN 2011!!

THIS LP DID NOT GET MUCH PUBLICITY OR EXPOSURE IN 1967 AND AS SUCH WAS A POOR SELLER,NO DOUBT DELETED WITHIN A YEAR OF ISSUE AND IT HAS BEEN REISSUED IN RECENT YEARS THE MAJORITY OF COLLECTORS ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN ORIGINAL ISSUES!

HERE IS A RARE CHANCE TO GET ONE!

NOT A DODGY REPRO AS MAY EXIST

NOTE MY REALISTIC STARTING PRICE OF £20! 

 HOUSED IN AN ORIGINAL LAMINATED FRONT COVER WITH TINY EDGE CREASES AND SOME SLIGHT RING WEAR STAINING BUT NO RIPS OR REPAIRS! THE TOP AND BACK FLAPS HAVE COME UNSTUCK BUT ARE STILL THERE. 

NO WRITING EXCEPT THE PREVIOUS OWNER'S NAME AT THE BACK. 

PLEASE SEE BOTH PHOTOS! 

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A RARE 1960s FOLK LP

-THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITION.

THIS COPY HAS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE,JUST THE ODD"POP"HERE AND THERE AND ONLY A FEW ULTRA FAINT AND TINY SURFACE MARKS ! FLAT VINYL!NO WARPS! 

AN ELITE ITEM FOR ANY FOLK LP COLLECTOR!

MUSICALLY QUITE ENCHANTING AND BEAUTIFULLY RECORDED BY BILL LEADER,WHO OF COURSE A MAJOR NAME IN THE 1960s FOLK WORLD.

SOME TRACKS HAVE THE SMALL PIPE/FLUTE ORGAN PLAYED BY DOLLY COLLINS.THIS CHARMING INSTRUMENT OFTEN TO BE FOUND IN TINY CHURCHES IS THE PERFECT BACKGROUND FOR THE SONGS AND IS NOT TOO"FORWARD"IN THE MIX.THE MONO MIX IS NATURAL WITH A WARMTH AND DEPTH OF SOUND THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED ON CD. SHIRLEY'S VOICE IS QUITE DIVINE,NO OVER THE TOP VIBRATO,PERFECT DICTION AND OF COURSE SHE IS REGARDED AS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FOLK ARTISTS OF THE LAST CENTURY.

THE COVER HAS IN DEPTH SLEEVE NOTES BY SHIRLEY COLLINS.

I HAVE ONLY FOUND ONE COPY PREVIOUSLY IN ALMOST 25 YEARS AS A RECORD DEALER AND THAT WAS ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO.

I HAVE PLAYED IT THREE TIMES TO ENSURE CAREFUL GRADING! 

THE TRACKS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

ALL THINGS ARE QUITE SILENT

CAMBRIDGESHIRE MAY CAROL

SPENCER THE ROVER

THE RIGS OF THE TIME

THE CRUEL MOTHER
