Description
I have shown 12 photos of this very rare Faraway Folk Seasonal Man UK Stereo LP from 1975. It is a private pressing from RA Records Ltd ., 14 Swan Street , Torquay. It has catalogue No- RALP 6029 and the Matrix numbers are A2 / B2. It is beautiful visually graded near mint easily both sides.It retains all of its glossy black lustre sheen. I have play tested it on my Thorens TD 160 and it plays beautifully throughout with full punchy sound. There is just some very light gentle background sound on 2 of the tracks and this does not last long at all. Its just short segments and not all the way through the 2 tracks. It is not obtrusive and lasts just a short while in each of the 2 tracks-it certainly does not spoil the 2 tracks. I would easily play grade this as near mint apart from the very minor issues on the 2 tracks. The record looks stunning like it was pressed last week and barely played at all-maybe just a handful of times There are no marks or scratches on it at all and even under a light it appears exquisite. It took me by surprise in a nice way upon playing it-certainly an edgy electronic fuzzier folk than i was expecting.Really great music for sure. Both of the textured yellow labels are in beautiful near mint condition with a very light spindle trail on side 1. The gatefold sleeve was printed in England by West Brothers Ltd London. The sleeve is in superb shape and ultra clean condition with a lovely spine and razor sharp opening edges. It has the mis-spelled Bonny Black Hair on the rear of the sleeve. There is a lovely image of the band in the very clean great condition centre gatefold. The original owner has placed in light biro with small writing on the back of the sleeve- Spanish Barn Torquay 1976. The Spanish Barn was a gig that the band played and this LP will have been purchased at that gig. The original owner has also in light biro placed Faraway Folk on the spine. This hardly detracts from what is a fantastic condition very clean solid sleeve from a smoke free enviorement. The inner sleeve is also in near mint contition. I send Worldwide
