'THE GARDEN OF JANE DELAWNEY'
the rare original CBS RECORDS LP, cat# S 63837 in <-STEREO-> from 1970
Here's one of the most sought-after albums on the lable and from the British folk genre!
The debut LP for this young group, it certainly warranted another album for their recording contract - as these are lovely songs, skillfully crafted and tastefully arranged. For me, the guitar-work is a little 'heady', and laid-back - occasionally reminiscent of West Coast California psych - but that's the only criticism I might level here.
They tackle some traditional numbers with aplomb, obviously well versed and probably staples of their live playing. However, their own numbers certainly don't show up as any less powerful - which tells you something of why they are still so highly regarded nowadays.
So, there's not one track one might want to skip past - a strength and quality that they managed to maintain throughout....and indeed onto their next LP too.
The vinyl is visually in shiny condition, but under a bright light shows sleeve-scuff to the surface. A couple of other marks don't disturb the needle, but this has been played a lot and some wear distortion exists to the vinyl particularly in the louder parts. A slight crackle to the quieter spots doesn't stand out too much, but because of the general wear I can only grade this as VG+ overall. Certainly enjoyable when played, for the musical quality - but this is not for the mint or audiophile enthusiast.
The lables are bright and clean, several spindle-marks and wear around the centre-hole.
The lovely front-laminated single-sleeve cover is fairly respectable VG++, with light general storage wear, no splits. A name/initials in small pen on the rear, top-right corner, otherwise the rear card is in decent condition with only very light storage scuff.
No reserve - so highest bidder gets to own.
