THE SUN ALSO RISES, S/T, ORIG 1970 UK THE VILLAGE THING LP, ACID FOLK, EX VINYL

The Sun Also Rises – Self Titled Album (12” LP)
The Sun Also Rises were a Welsh, Cardiff-based folk duo, comprising Graham Hemingway (vocals, guitars) and Anne Hemingway (vocals, dulcimer, glockenspiel, vibes, percussion) who performed in the late 1960s/early 1970s. Their style has been described as "mystical" and "acid-folk", their self-penned compositions being primarily about a fantasy world of mythological beings such as fairies, elves and dragons. They have been compared with the Incredible String Band and Tir-na-Nog.
 Side One: Until I Do; Wizard Shep; Part Of The Room; Green Lane.

Side Two: Tales Of Jasmine And Suicide; Flowers; Song Of Consolation; Suddenly It's Evening; Death.
The album is on The Village Thing Records, VTS 2. Matrix side one: VTS 2A-1 *1 (stamped). Matrix side two: VTS 2B-1 *1 (stamped).
Released in 1970. UK pressing. Stereo.

Condition: (as Record Collector’s grading system)
Vinyl side 1: excellent (has the odd very light superficial mark that does not affect the audio in any way, plays excellent with no jumps, sticks or clicks and minimal crackle).
Vinyl side 2: excellent (has the odd very light superficial mark that does not affect the audio in any way, plays excellent with no jumps, sticks or clicks and minimal crackle).
Cover (matt): very good (couple of small surface tears on front top centre and top right, light rubbing, the odd small light crease around the edges, small indent mark on front).
Comes with the original one-sided insert in excellent condition.
I have tried to give my honest opinion as to the condition. I will give a complete refund to the buyer if they are not happy with the record.
Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM:
MINT: I very rarely use the mint grade. Only records that are still sealed or records that even under the strongest of lights are completely unmarked. Also covers that are unmarked/uncreased in any way and still look brand new.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is no lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.  1715 (GS 9.9.2 (1715))
