ATTENTION BRITISH PROGRESSIVE ROCK/FOLK COLLECTORS! HERE IS A RARELY SEEN ALBUM FROM 1970 THAT BARELY SOLD,HAD VERY LITTLE ATTENTION AND RARELY TURNS UP FOR SALE ESPECIALLY AS GOOD AS THIS EXAMPLE WHICH HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED!
JAN DUKES DE GRAY:"SORCERERS".
A GROUP THAT WERE FOLK BASED SIMILAR TO THE INCREDIBLE STRING BAND BUT ADAPTED TO THE PROGRESSIVE ROCK INFLUENCES VERY WELL. RECORDED AT THE END OF 1969 AND ISSUED IN EARLY 1970 WITH VERY LITTLE PROMOTION OR ATTENTION-PROBABLY JOHN PEEL WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE FEW DJs TO PLAY ANYTHING FROM IT ON THE RADIO. THERE IS A VARIED SELECTION OF STYLES ON THE ALBUM BUT PLENTY OF EXCELLENT GUITAR WORK AND VOCALS. WELL WORTH INVESTIGATING AND A FANTASTIC INVESTMENT AS WELL AS AN UPGRADER OPPORTUNITY IF YOUR COPY IS NOT BRILLIANT!DECCA PRESSED DECCA-NOVA SDN 8 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE P-1W/P-1W MATRIXES.THICK VINYL WITH THAT "JUST PRESSED" LOOK!
IT INCLUDES THE USUALLY MISSING AND CORRECT BLUE STEREO INNER SLEEVE WHICH HAS THE FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING CREDIT.
THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER HAS THE DIE CUT MONO/STEREO HOLE AT THE BACK WHICH ENDED WITHIN MONTHS OF THIS LPs ISSUE ON THE SHORT LIVED NOVA LABEL-HIGHLY COLLECTABLE FOR ARTISTS THAT DECCA DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH WHEN THE FORMALLY PROGRESSIVE DERAM LABEL WAS STARTING TO ISSUE MAINLY PURE POP!THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER HAS SOME TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING OR REPAIRS. THE RECORD ITSELF HAS A COUPLE OF ULTRA FAINT SURFACE MARKS BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE-NO CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS-STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION! PLEASE SEE ALL MY PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER+BOTH RECORD LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE!
IN 1970 MANY COPIES WERE OFTEN PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT AND SO OFTEN TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS ONE HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL WITH THAT "JUST PRESSED"LOOK! NO NASTY DISTORTION AS PRESENT ON THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT SURVIVE! CLEAN LABELS WITH NO SPINDLE WEAR! BID WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE!
A COPY THAT HAS HARDLY BEEN USED, OBVIOUSLY CHERISHED AND WELL CARED FOR BY ONE OWNER SINCE 1970!
A REAL JOY FOR ANY PROGRESSIVE ROCK FAN! NO HORRIBLE SMOKE OR DAMP SMELL AS SO OFTEN THE CASE WITH SUCH OLD LPs!
MOST WILL REMAIN ON COLLECTORS SHELVES! THE LAST DECENT COPY I HAD SOLD ON EBAY ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND ATTRACTED VERY KEEN BIDDING AND WENT FOR AN AMAZING PRICE!
THIS IS A LOVELY PRESSING!
THIS 1970 PRESSING HAS FAR MORE BASS AND MUCH THICKER VINYL AS WELL AS A MUCH THICKER COVER THAN LATER 1970s and 1980s ALBUMS WHICH HAD WAFER THIN VINYL!
