Brief description of item

The Gael Folk, formerly known as "The Govan Folk Five" & their album released on private label (made in Scotland) THISTLE records. Seriously rare private release that's performed in smooth tones of the Scots dialect Gaelic. English translations are available on the back cover notes of what each tune is based. This is a VERY rare record that will seldom come to light, and in such a high condition as this particular copy. Every aspect of this example is in EXCELLENT condition. Plays very well indeed with the smallest of background noise only. Neat cover with no damp or ripping etc. Has the original price written on top cover front of £1.52p....Best advised non removable. Great clean & vibrant labels on each side, all text highly legible. No handwritten names or ripping. Back cover is fully legible 100%. The actual vinyl is scratch or damage free, and in a high EXCELLENT visual state, plays at very worst as VG++ Group members are : Neiliann B. Patrick - Mairi M. Mackenzie - Bill Gardner - Douglas McLean - Donnie MacGillivray

Please see the close up view of this item below. Thanks

All vinyl comes from a smoke, damp and pet free environment

Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condiition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displayes 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 (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has notceably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc

Fair (F) 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 (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler

CD's and CASSETTES As a general rule CD's and Cassettes either play perfectly - inwhich case they are in Mint condition - or they don't, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD's are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves
