(1975 SAIN RECORDS - VERY RARE WELSH LANGUAGE FIRST PRESSING!)
ON OFFER HERE IS THIS GENUINE ORIGINAL FIRST VINYL PRESSING OF THE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER AND RIGHTLY PRAISED WELSH LANGUAGE DEBUT ALBUM “AIL-DDECHRA” BY BRAN ON THE SAIN LABEL.
EVEN IF YOU DON’T KNOW THIS ALBUM YOU REALIZE YOU ARE IN FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL THE MINUTE YOU CLAP EYES OF THE FANTASTIC SLEEVE!!
THE GREAT NEWS IS THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE FINEST COPIES OF THIS ALBUM TO EVER COME UP FOR SALE - IT ALMOST LOOKS AS IF IT WAS BOUGHT NEW YESTERDAY. I DO NOT OVER-GRADE AND RARELY MAKE OUTRAGEOUS CLAIMS FOR ANY OF THE RECORDS I SELL.
