SHIRLEY COLLINS & DAVY GRAHAM

Folk Roots, New Routes

Rare 1965 British Folk 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 he 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.

?SHIRLEY COLLINS & DAVY GRAHAM Folk Roots, New Routes.

A landmark British Folk Rarity from 1965. Original UK first press 16-track deep groove mono vinyl LP on a red unboxed Decca label with 'Made In England' perimeter print along the top. This is a seminal album which opened the doors for Fairport Convention & Pentangle to come and is of great historical interest to anyone collecting British Folk music, pitching as it does Shirley Collins' beautiful, haunting vocals together with Davy Graham's innovative guitar playing.?

Matrix numbers:

Side A: ARL-6551-1A

Side B: ARL-6552-1A

The vinyl is in good condition. Surface scuffs / marks causing background crackle and the occasional click. No skips or jumps.

The sleeve is in good condition with some laminate nail marks at the sleeve entrance, laminate hairlines at the edges. The rear of the sleeve has the initials “JGC” written in biro in small print at the top right corner. Some age discolouration.
