RARE PROG ROCK CLASSIC FIRE THE MAGIC SHOEMAKER 1970 PYE STEREO LP
ITEM FOR SALE
This album is one of those classic 70's prog rock lp you very rarely see. Rumoured to feature one Jimi Hendrix on guitar I think this was never proven? So here is your opportunity to grab this super rare UK progressive rock album. Pressed in 1970 on Pye Lable NSPL.1834, the record itself is in very nice condition.
Some info about the album.
Before 'The Strawbs' Dave Lambert’s psychedelic band Fire is only known for their hit single, Father’s Name is Dad, but there was something different about this band when they released this lost concept album. The Magic Shoemaker is undoubtedly a slice of progressive psychedelic musical history, featuring heavy guitar sounds, bass, and drums along with some folksy crisp along with Dave Lambert’s narration. This is the sound of progressive rock that would make the fans very appreciative of Lambert’s vocals before he became a Prog-Folk singer, and began to realize how damn good his arrangements really were. Whilst Lambert's voice is exceptional, his guitar sound is phenomenal and with Bob Voice’s shattering drumming brings the Fire sound to the forefront as does Dick Dufall’s bass work. Sadly soon after the Magic Shoemaker was released, the band decided to call it a day, however they did reunite in 2007 to perform the album for a live version.
CONDITION
The sleeve is in excellent condition with no major flaws. The only criticism are there is some wear to corners, and along spine and top/bottom edges. this is mainly down to the manufacturing and type of finished used on this cover so I am therefore grading sleeve as excellent minus (ex-). The sleeve does not do justice to the record which is in superb condition, side 1 has two small hairline marks and no spindle marks, and the playing surface in beautiful condition, side 2 has 1 very feint spindle mark and the playing surface is near mint, this record is in absolute exceptional condition, and I can guarantee the new owner will not be disappointed. Overall grading Sleeve NEX/ Record EX+. I am very fussy with my gradings and rarely use near mint or mint!
Stamper numbers are as follows.
SIDE A NSPL18343A-2
SIDE B NSPL18343B-2
Labels are super clean BLUE PYE STEREO.
POSTAGE & PACKAGING
LP's sent in purpose made cardboard mailers with two sheets of corrugated cardboard to protect item. To protect sleeve all LP's are removed form sleeve and packaged alongside item, this prevents LP damaging sleeve in transit.
As this is a rare record i would also only want to ship using either registered post with insurance or for any country outside insurance for the Uk postal service a courier service at the buyers expense.
