John Fahey
THE TRANSFIGURATION of BLIND JOE DEATH
1974 US TAKOMA Label issue
This auction is for a copy of a 1974 US release of The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death by American fingerstyle guitarist and composer, John Fahey. Originally released in a hand-lettered edition of 50 in 1965, this album has only grown in stature over the years. Described as “a mix of old-timey country, ragtime, Spanish flamenco, Indian classical music and more, it is quiet, beautiful and jaw-droppingly intricate.” The album was rated 74 in Pitchfork’s best 200 albums of the 1960’s. The release also features the booklet with notes by Charles Hollway, Esq (in reality Fahey’s roommate Alan Wilson of Canned Heat).

I will be listing several records over the coming weeks. These are from a private collection that has been in storage for a few years. The images used in the listings will always be the actual records for sale, stock images will not be used. Please note I will do my best to grade the condition of these records, but I am not a professional grader. If anything, the gradings will be conservative. All LPs will be test played but only major defects will be reported.
I am happy to combine postage if you are interested in more than one listing. The item will be packed carefully to ensure it arrives safely which may mean postage is a little higher, but I will only charge you the postage I pay. Local pick up will be from the Highett area, about 5 minutes from Southland Shopping Centre. Overseas buyers please note postage is based on weight and distance, which can make buying from Australia quite expensive.
All bids are final. Winning bidder please contact me within 3 days. Postage discounts will be offered if more than one auction has been won. Buyer is to pay all postage. Overseas bidders please note that there is an Australia Post surcharge to some countries; this is to be paid by the buyer. Email for accurate postal costs before bidding. Please email me any questions.
Good luck and happy bidding!
