Description
This very rare record is not listed in the Record Collector Rare Record Price Guide. I purchased it from Folk Review Magazine in 1974. I am pretty sure that the Vin Garbutt and Rosemary Hardman tracks do not appear on any of their official recordings. This record is an absolute gem and features some of the outstanding artists on the folk scene in the '70s.

The vinyl is shiny and, although it has some superficial marks, it plays superbly. There is barely any background crackling even on the quieter tracks. There is minimal spindle wear.
The laminated sleeve is composed of very thin card and is not of the best quality. The inprint of the record shows through. That said, it has survived the last 40 years (almost) extremely well. I would grade it as very good plus.
