Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music!

1974 UK Original ~ ELECTRIC FOLKROCK CLASSIC !
HEDGEHOG PIE
\ UK - RUBBER RECORDS - 009
TOP COPY!
..............includes the really rare photos & lyrics insert
Beautiful minty British-only 1974 first pressing in textured fragile pink cover of delicate folkrock weavings with great female & male harmonies highlighted with terrific memorable melodies, on small local English pressing...
This is really a great folk-rock album, very worthwhile. It is lighter breezy feel with superb hippie-element male-femakle vocal blends and the playing is just superb. These guys are phenominal musicians and this album has some great acoustic & electric guitar work, plus flutes & and other more traditional celtic-folk sounds. Hedgehog Pie should sit near the top of the folk-rock world with Trees, the Spriguns, Pentangle, Steeleye Span, and Fairport Convention. This is just great music & highly Recommended ...
Hedgehog Pie's self-titled first album was recorded in September 1974. Its ten tracks were divided into four instrumentals -generally featuring Doonan's flute, Jenkins on mandolin, a plucked electric bass, and a heavily strummed electric guitar (in the style used by Richard Thompson on Fairport's "Tarn Lin") - and six vocal tracks. Of the latter, side one's "Mariners" (performed in an arrangement later adopted by Fairport for their album TIPPLERS' TALES), and "Rosemary Lane," (a Bert Jansch favorite, performed here in a style quite reminiscent of Fairport's "Crazy Man Michael"), along with side two's "Jack Orion" (complete with instrumental passages between the verses just as Fairport was to do later) are among the high points. Listening to Margi Luckley on the first and third of these ballads would easily allow her to be mistaken for any of the legendary UK folkrock great. Indeed, her voice, even in the quieter passages, portrays a gutsy quality rather than the more delicate breathy sound of a Sandy Denny. Hedgehog Pie were the result of the flourishing folk revival in northern England and the attempts to extend the electric folk movement in the region. They matured rapidly into a promising and highly proficient outfit and although the group failed to achieve mainstream recognition, they still retain a local and cult following in the context of northern folk music.
