SLEEVE PRINTED BY ROBERT STACE

HI. WELCOME TO MY LATEST AUCTION.

YOU ARE BIDDING ON ONE OF THE CLASSIC TRADITIONAL BRITISH FOLK ALBUMS.

HAILING FROM SUSSEX. SHIRLEY COLLINS REMAINS THE GRANDMOTHER OF MODERN FOLK INSPIRING HUNDREDS. THIS LP RELEASED IN 1967 IS A TYPICAL STATEMENT OF THAT. ALTHOUGH IT DOESN’T SCALE THE HEIGHTS OF ITS PREDECESSOR ’FOLK ROOTS, NEW ROUTES’ WITH DAVY GRAHAM. HER SISTER, THE EQUALLY RENOWNED LATE DOLLY COLLINS FEATURES ON SIX ON THE TRACKS ON OFFER.

TRACKLISTING:

SIDE ONE:

1. ALL THINGS ARE QUITE SILENT (FEAT. DOLLY)

2.CAMBRIDGESHIRE MAY CAROL

3. SPENCER THE ROVER (FEAT. DOLLY)

4. THE RIGS OF TIME

5. THE CRUEL MOTHER

6. THE BIRD IN THE BUSH

7. THE STREETS OF DERRY

SIDE TWO

1. BRIGG FAIR

2. HIGHER GERMAINE

3. GEORGE COLLINS (FEAT. DOLLY)

4. BABES IN THE WOOD

5. DOWN IN YON FOREST

6. THE MAGPIE’S NEST

7. THE SWEET PRIMEROSES

THREE OF THE TRACKS ON THIS LP ARE UN-ACCOMPANIED. DOLLY CONTRIBUTES THE PORTATIVE PIPE ORGAN (A SMALL MEDIEVAL HAND WORKED BELLOWS, WITH ANOTHER PLAYING THE KEYS) ON THIS ALBUM TOO.

ABOUT THE RECORD:

SIDE ONE:

THE VINYL ITSELF IS LOVELY AND CLEAN AND HAS NO SCRATCHES WHATSOEVER. IT HAS THE FIRST PUBLISHED… CREDIT BELOW THE TOPIC LOGO.

IT PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH MILD CRACKLE DURING THE UN-ACCOMPANIED TRACKS.

THERE IS ONE BARELY VISIBLE TINY SPINDLE MARK ON THE LABEL.

MATRIX NO: 370A 1A

SIDE TWO:

AS PER SIDE ONE, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE A FEW MORE SPINDLE MARKS ON THE LABEL.

SAYING THAT, STREETS OF DERRY IS ON SIDE ONE AND IS ONE FINEST FOLK SONGS I’VE EVER HEARD!

MATRIX NO: 370B 1B

ABOUT THE SLEEVE:

THIS A REALLY CLEAN EXAMPLE OF THIS COVER. THE TWO CORNERS SHOW THE SLIGHTEST WEAR AND THE TOP/CENTRE OF THE COVER HAS A VERY SMALL NICK ON IT. IT’S REALLY NOTHING SERIOUS.

ON THE REVERSE, THERE IS THE FAINTEST AGEING/YELLOWING. AGAIN THE COVER IS OFF WHITE ANYWAY SO ITS BARELY NOTICEABLE.

OVERALL, AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A 40 YEAR OLD LP. USUALLY WHEN THESE COME UP FOR SALE THEY ARE NORMALLY ANNIHILATED BEYOND REPAIR OR REDEMPTION. USUALLY UNPLAYABLE IN PARTS DUE TO THE DELICATE NATURE OF THIS LP.

THIS IS A FIRST PRESSING OF THIS LP.

BID WITH CONFIDENCE.
