BONNIE DOBSON

1970 UK RCA STEREO SF.8079

XPRS-5699-1

XPRS-5700-1

A very rare 1970 UK earliest 1st pressing of this musically superb female Folk/Psych album. The tracks contain some really excellent sitar and string arrangements, this is a real gem of a folk/psych album that not too many would have heard.

This album really is very hard to find as a earliest uk first pressing with 1-1 matrix endings, when copies do turn up they are usually either U.S. or Canadian pressings with thin flimsy pressed vinyl housed in inferior non-laminated drilled/cut corner card covers which are prone to bad storage wear, this original uk 1st press copy on offer here has the earliest thick pressed vinyl in stunning blemish free near mint condition and the front laminated Robert Stace single sleeve in excellent condition.

                     1) I Got Stung
                     2) Morning Dew
                     3) Let's Get Together
                     4) I'm Your Woman
                     5) Time
                     6) Rainy Wind WS

                     1) Everybody's Talkin'
                     2) Bird Of Space
                     3) You Never Wanted Me
                     4) Pendant Que
                     5) Elevator Man
                     6) Winter's Going

The original thick rigid vinyl is in brilliant MINT- very clean and glossy condition having no bad/noticeable surface marks/scuffs at all, in bright harsh light there are some extremely tiny feint sleeve withdrawal traces but both sides look brand new in normal light and both sides play top excellent throughout with brilliant clean and clear sound quality, this rare superb sounding female psych/folk album has only ever had just one or two very careful plays since new and has been very well looked after. This is a dream copy that will definitely not disappoint and will not need upgrading in the future.

Both labels are in near mint very clean blemish free condition and even when studied closely you will only find one or two of the very lightest spindle traces on each side, this album has been barely played at all in 37 years.

The original front laminated single sleeve was printed in the UK by Robert Stace and is in excellent condition, there are just one or two very light lamination lines and also some very narrow areas of lamination bubbling near the spine, the pinched spine and top/bottom and opening edges are excellent and the black/white matt rear is still very clean but with some light age yellowing around the edges.

The original 'Patents Applied for' made in England white die-cut inner sleeve is in excellent condition with some light yellowing only.

A superb condition very rare original UK earliest 1st pressing that looks/plays and sounds excellent throughout.

The pictures provided are of the actual album for sale.
