THE EXTREMELY RARE FOLK LP by THE THEN LOCAL BAND (TO ME LIVING NEAR TO BRIXHAM), FARAWAY FOLK.

LP IS  CALLED," SEASONAL MAN" AND IS THE FIRST PRESSING ORIGINAL HEAVY WEIGHT 180gm LP ON RA RECORDS (A COMPANY THAT WAS BASED IN TORQUAY, DEVON).

THE RECORD COMES WITH A LOVELY EXAMPLE OF AN UNSIGNED GATEFOLD SLEEVE.

THIS IS UNUSUAL AS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT THE COVER WAS SIGNED BY THE BAND AT SHOWS, ETC.

CATALOGUE NUMBER IS RALP 6029.

FIRST ISSUE ON RA RECORDS, LOCATED IN SWAN STREET IN TORQUAY IN DEVON JUST A STONES THROW FROM WHERE I LIVE, SO A LOCAL RECORD TO ME THAT I HAVE OWNED FOR MANY YEARS.

THE RECORD HAS ONLY BEEN PLAYED ONCE IN MY OWNERSHIP AND I AM A CAREFUL RECORD COLLECTOR SO A BETTER COPY WILL BE HARD TO FIND.

I WILL DESCRIBE ALL THAT I CAN SEE AND  SHOW YOU PLENTY OF PHOTOGRAPHS SO YOU CAN REALLY ASSESS CONDITION FOR YOURSELF.

THE GATE-FOLD COVER IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH VERY LITTLE TO COMMENT ON OTHER THAN A FEW SMALL SURFACE MARKS, A FEW SMALL AND LIGHT CREASES IN THE SPINE AND BOTTOM LEFT CORNER AREAS AND A LITTLE LIGHT RING-WEAR TO THE TOP EDGE TO THE FRONT AND INTERMITENTLY TO THE REVERSE.

THESE ARE ALL SLIGHT AND MOST COLLECTORS WILL BE VERY HAPPY INDEED WITH THE COVERS CONDITION.

THERE ARE NO TEARS, NO DEEP OR EXTENSIVE CREASING, NO STAINS, NO STICKER DAMAGE, NO SEAM SPLITS AND NO WRITING.

THE INNER SECTION TO THE GATE-FOLD IS CLOSE TO MINT.

COVER HAS AN EXCELLENT STRONG AND WIDE SPINE AND THERE ARE NO PRINTING DETAILS ALONG THE SPINE.

RECORD IS IN A BRILLIANT EXCELLENT++ CONDITION.

RECORD IS A QUALITY 180gm PRESSING WITH RAISED OUTER EDGE WHERE THE RUN-IN GROOVE IS LOCATED AND HAS YELLOW LABELS WITH BLACK PRINT.

MATRIX DETAILS ARE:
SIDE ONE: RALP 6029 A-1
SIDE TWO: RALP 6029 B

THERE DO NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY OTHER MOTHER STAMPER DETAILS IN THE RUN-OFF GROOVE AREAS.

RECORD DOES NOT GET A MINT STATUS AS I WOULD NOT USE THAT TERM FOR AN LP THAT IS 40 YEARS OLD AS THERE MAY BE SOME LIGHT SURFACE NOISE OR CRACKLES HERE ANS THERE.

THERE ARE NO SCRATCHES AND NO WEAR AND VIRTUALLY NO LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS THAT I CAN SEE OTHER THAN ONE OR TWO EXTREMLY LIGHT MARKS.

RECORD RETAINS A LOVELY BRIGHT SHEEN.

RECORD IS NOT WARPED.

LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT++ CONDITION WITH NO SPINDLE MARKING.

THE INNER SECTION OF THE LABEL WHERE THE SPINDLE HOLE IS LOCATED IS ROUGHER IN TEXTURE WITH THE OUTER AREA OF THE LABEL BEING SMOOTHER.

RECORD WILL COME WITH A QUALITY PLASTIC-LINED PLAIN PAPER INNER SLEEVE AND A NEW GATE-FOLD PVC SLEEVE.

I WILL OF COURSE SEND THIS RARE LP VERY WELL PROTECTED WITHIN A CRUCIFORM RECORD MAILER WITH EXTRA CORRUGATED CARD FOR PROTECTION.

RECORD WILL BE SENT OUTSIDE OF THE MAIN COVER, IN A PAPER SLEEVE THAT WILL BE LIGHTLY TAPED AT THE OPEN EDGE TO CONTROL ANY MOVEMENT WHILST IN TRANSIT.

I HAVE SOLD OVER 3000 ITEMS ON EBAY INCLUDING A LARGE RANGE OF ITEMS WITH NO NEGATIVE FEEDBACK SO THAT SHOULD GIVE YOU THE ASSURANCE THAT YOU CAN BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!

IN CONCLUSION I WOULD SAY THAT THIS VERY RARE FOLK LP IS OVERALL IN AT LEAST AN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION AND IS PROBABLY CLOSER TO AN EXCELLENT++ CONDITION.

POSTAGE WILL BE BY SPECIAL DELIVERY WITHIN THIS COUNTRY COSTING 10.00 GBP.

POSTAGE ABROAD WILL ONLY BE BY INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR WITH EXTRA INSURANCE.

THIS WILL COST 17.00 GBP TO EUROPE AND 21.00 GBP TO THE REST OF THE WORLD.

I TRY TO GIVE YOU ALL THE DETAILS THAT I THINK YOU WILL NEED ON THE CONDITION OF THE ITEM, BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ANYTHING MORE THEN PLEASE JUST ASK!!
