Description

This is an excellent example of the original 1969 much sought after mono pressing on the Tepee label (TPRM 105) featuring Tim Hart and Maddy Prior. This album and Volume 1 form an integral part of British Folk history and so should not be missed. There are excellent solo vocal performances from both, as well as duets.

Side 1: Side 2

1. My son John 1. Horn of the hunter

2. Earl Richard 2. Copshawholme Fair

3. Paddy stole the rope 3. Oats + Beans + Barley grows

4. The Gardener 4. Fiddler’s Green

5. The Bay of Biscay 5. Captain Wedderburn’s

6. Queen Eleanor’s confession courtship

6. Turkey Rhubarb

7. The Bold Fisherman

The record has hairline marks on both sides and I would therefore grade it as very good + . Occasionally, there is a slight discernable crackle when played but no real scratches or clicks. (My records are played using a Project Debut turntable). Overall the album plays well and captures the idealistic enthusiasm of the period.

The cover has worn over the years and is slightly creased on the front on the top, left-hand side. On the inside of the gate-fold sleeve the photo on the right-hand side is slightly creases in the top right corner. I would grade it as very good.

I have attempted to describe both record and cover accurately and, because of its rarity and quality of the music, have no hesitation in putting it up for auction with a very low starting price.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any further questions.

Happy bidding!

My records are graded in accordance with Record Collector's Grading System as follows: MINT(M)The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any other items are in perfect condition. EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable. GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc + or - indicates a grading in between categories
