Description
Hello, fellow sonic travellers... Dom & Sarah here - two devoted and incurable music addicts.
We're auctioning a truly amazing collection of massively rare and highly sought-after records, most of them new and unplayed and all starting at just 1p. We bought two copies of each of these records - one to play, and one to keep as a spare.
We've just learnt our landlord is selling our house, bah!! and we have to make a small fortune quickly to find a new place. Renting in Brighton ain't cheap - so to get some shekels together quickly, we're selling our spare copies of these brilliant records. This way at least we can spread some glorious vibes to other music freaks like ourselves, and hopefully be able to move to a magical new abode...
So set your alarm for 9pm (UK time) on Sunday 2nd June, 'cos that's when the auctions end and the magic begins...
Don't forget to check out our other items - and happy bidding! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You're bidding on the limited LP "Until You Find Your Green" by The Baird Sisters.
It was released on Grapefruit Records - a one-time subscription edition as part of the Grapefruit Record Club (cat. no. GY2-2) and it comes in a hand-numbered cover with an insert. This is number 140 of 302. It's new and unplayed.
It's a joy to listen to Laura and Meg Baird kicking back at home - probably in their kitchen - following in the home-recording tradition of generations of American folk singers before them - John Jacob Niles, Texas Gladden, Karen Dalton... all of them preferred recording in their own surroundings, where they lived from day to day; this set of songs was recorded at Forest Hill Farm, Laura's home - and the ease and familiarity shines through in the musicianship and the sweet melodies of the sisters' voices.
"Until You Find Your Green" is a wonderful mixture of traditional and self-penned songs which veers into psychedelic folk territory now and again, just like their songs with the band Espers, but they retain their age-old roots as well, which could have something to do with the fact that Laura is a performer and collector of traditional Appalachian music.
Charming, heart-warming and a little mysterious... very desirable and very highly recommended!

NOW, HERE'S THE BORING BUT IMPORTANT STUFF - PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR BID... Paypal is the only accepted payment method. Please pay within 3 days of auction end. Reduced postage rates are available for multiple purchases, so if you have won more than one auction, please wait for a revised invoice which will be sent the same evening, as soon as all the auctions have finished. The postage prices are calculated according to fully insured postage. Sorry for the postage costs, but UK postal rates were recently updated by a committee which included Emperor Ming, Satan and the Cenobites from the Hellraiser movies. We don't make any profit on postage charges, and we don't charge for packing materials (which are often recycled). So what you pay for is what it costs to send... but if for any reason postage costs less, we'll refund the difference as soon as your package is sent. All records are packaged very safely with cardboard stiffeners. Any questions, feel free to ask. Anyone who bids without understanding these instructions will be made to lick the backs of Mick Hucknall's clammy knees after he's lost at squash to Tony Blair, and listen to a selection of Cliff Richard's Christmas "hits" blasted through headphones tied on to your head with your own intestines, while Anne Widdecombe dances a lascivious burlesque in the background wearing a skimpy outfit made only of pages from Leviticus.
