JOHN MARTYN - London Conversation
Original 1967 UK MONO LP ?
I am selling around 200 records that were owned by singer/songwriter, John Cooper. John wrote songs that were used on Jimmy Webb albums and was also close friends with folk/blues guitarist, Davy Graham.
John sadly passed away recently and his family have asked me to sell some of his record collection so they can donate the proceeds to the Ayrshire hospice, who looked after John in the last few months before his demise.
The record collection includes many rare folk, blues and rock albums,EP's and singles from the 60's and 70's in varying conditions. Please bookmark me over the next few months as I plough through the records.

The laminated flip back sleeve is in very good+ condition with some some corner wear. See photos.
Vinyl is in good condition with surface scuffing / marks and some background crackle evident. The LP jumps on side one, track 1, due to a nail mark.
If the sale of this item accrues more than £30 I will only send by registered delivery. I will send details on the invoice to the winning bidder.
