Description

Adequate player copy of this fantastic psych/folk piece, all original material with some really beautiful songs. Sleeve has been well preserved in almost intact shrink, there is some discoloration at the opening end where shrink isn't covering sleeve, there are a few very light creases at spine. Vinyl has a good amount of wear resulting in noise and pops throughout, songs are still fairly well-defined over the bed of noise, no skips.
Set aside all those presumptions about husband-wife albums because The Merchant’s Ship is a simply magical recording of dreamy edge folk, not unlike one of my all-time favorite groups Shekinah. Solemn melodies, moving harmonies, lucid acoustic guitar (sometimes with classical influences), deep mellotron backing, and sharp production all join hands in creating a lush impressionistic beauty. Other non-typical instruments include dulcimer, zither, melodica, moog and bongos. All songs written by Billy Stinson, the titles being ‘Pack Your Things’, ‘Thief In The Night’, ‘Sheep’, ‘Last Masquerade’, ‘Merchant’s Ship’, ‘Arise And Go’, ‘Hungry’, ‘Jerusalem’, and ‘Shepherd’s Song’. Recorded in North Carolina.     (The Archivist by Ken Scott, 4th Edition).
Hear the beautiful opening track with no noise reduction or alteration.
