Description
I am not a record dealer, just someone who has accumulated a large collection of vinyl in the 1970s and to a certain extent in the 1980s, and now has (sadly) to let my old 'friends' go to new homes (age and inevitable decay- me, not the records).
Nic Jones, the great 'lost' hope of the British 1970s Folk revival, on this his fourth album. The music speaks for itself, needs little analysis. Following his accident in 1982, he made a very long and slow recovery, but is a shadow of the man he was.
I am not an expert on the grading of records, but I do know that 'Mint' and 'near-Mint' are, for all practical purposes, meaningless. Who buys a record and then never plays it? I adhere to the 'Record Collector' grading system as best I can within the latitude of interpretation. I bought these records because I loved the music and I played them, so some wear and tear is inevitable, I make no apologies for that. I will be as honest as I can about 'surface noise' and crackle/pop, but my advice is that if you own a £1000 deck and a £500 stylus, then only buy true 'mint' pressings or you will live in a constant state of disappointment.
