Description
I love Leslie/Sam Phillips and I love this album a lot. But this is an ABSOLUTELY UNPLAYED spare copy I have, which I once picked in a UK record store.
As noted, this is indeed the UK pressing. This records was unsealed when I bought it new, as was the way in 1980s Britain. I have only just now taken this record out of its sleeve to photograph it. As you can see in the photos there's a tiny bit of wear/bending on the spine near the title, from long term storage in my collection of "spare" LPs. There's also a slight crease on the inner liner notes. You can see these in the photos. Apart from that it's as mint as it's possible for an unsealed 80s vinyl LP to be. These are photos of the actual item for sale.
Happy bidding! ________________
FROM THE WEB: The Turning is an album by Leslie Phillips that was released by Myrrh in 1987 and re-released on CD in 1997 under the name Sam Phillips.
This album marks the first time Phillips worked with producer T Bone Burnett. The two married soon after the release of this album, and Burnett would go on to produce more albums for the singer. The Turning stands out as a turning point in Phillips' career as a singer and songwriter; on one side, the cheerful, upbeat pop-rock albums that she recorded in the early 1980s, and, on the other, the quirky 60's music influenced rock and folk albums, with a much darker and more poetic tone lyrically. This album was listed at No. 8 in the book CCM Presents: The 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music.
