Description

Anne Briggs self-titled first album 1971. Rare 1st press, A1/B1 in excellent condition.
Wonderful and hugely influential first album by Anne Briggs. To quote All Music Guide, "An awesomely talented singer of traditional English folk music, possessing as pure and breathtakingly beautiful a voice as one could hope to have, she was the single most important influence on a group of female British folk singers that includes Sandy Denny, Maddy Prior, June Tabor, and Linda Thompson. Even Norma Waterson, herself a hugely important figure in the British folk revival of the mid-'60s, admits to being influenced by Briggs' singing and notes that Anne Briggs singlehandedly changed the way that English women folk singers sang." Having recorded two albums she quit both performing and recording and settled in rural Scotland.
Vinyl - Very Good+ - Excellent. I have looked carefully, and there are virtually no marks to either side, just one or two very faint surface marks - no scratches.
Labels - Very Good+. clean, undamaged labels with some spindle marks only - no stickers or writing. 
Sleeve - Very Good. No writing, tears or sticker damage to front, one sticker mark on the back cover with small surface tear (see photos). Light ring marking to front and back. One corner slightly dented, all others good. Spine in excellent, square, fully legible condition.
Inner sleeve - Original plain white, no writing or tears, with a some marks where the plastic liner is glued in.
A rare opportunity to buy one of the great folk albums in great condition.
