Great British folk and a gem that needs more attention....by all means one of the best albums from this period I ve heard this year...if you like Bachelor s Gate, Tudor Lodge, Folkdove, etc check it out. This is mainly a femvox album with beautiful harmonies accompanied by nice guitar interplay, dulcimer, bouzouki occasional electric piano. Highly recommended and inordinately rare

CONDITION:
THE RECORD
IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight
a WE GRADE THE VINYL AS EXCELLENT. This is one of those albums that are somewhat difficult to grade. It is somewhere between VG and NEAR MINT, just a notch below NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions ARE visible, but they are extremely shallow, superficial and only moderately visually distracting nothing significant .For the most part, the vinyl looks impeccable without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new. three tracks have some minor groove wear running parallel to the grooves these are NOT expected to be audible
b The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording
c Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording
THE COVER
THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD VG .
The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:
- Cover has some light ring wear nothing significant On the scale from 1 to 10 1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe , we assess the severity of ring wear as 2 front side and 3 back side
- Cover has a visible wrinkle crease in one of the corners.
- Cover shows some light yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging nothing significant .
- Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the spine BARELY VISIBLE
- Minor shelf wear noted on the seams nothing significant
- Cover has two corners slightly worn / dinged / bent. nothing significant
NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER
