ATTENTION JOAN BAEZ,1960s GIRL/FOLK SINGERS COLLECTORS AND CONDITION UPGRADERS! IGNORE EVERY OTHER COPY ON EBAY AND LOOK AT THIS STUNNING ORIGINAL 1965 1ST MONO EDITION JOAN BAEZ:"FAREWELL ANGELINA".

HERE IS WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT THE VERY BEST COPY I HAVE EVER SEEN AND HEARD IN 28 YEARS AS A DEALER OF AN ALBUM WHICH USUALLY TURNS UP IN DREADFUL CONDITION!

THIS 1965 ALBUM HAS 11 TRACKS-PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS FOR THE DETAILS.

 THE MAIN ATTRACTION BEING THEY ARE THE ORIGINAL MONO RECORDINGS. SHE RERECORDED HER TRACKS A FEW TIMES RESULTING IN SOME REISSUE CDs AND LPs NOT CONTAINING THE CORRECT VERSIONS. NOT ONLY THAT IF THEY ARE THE ORIGINALS,THEN THEY ARE OFTEN RUINED BY ELECTRONIC STEREO OR EXTRA ECHO! HERE ARE THE ORIGINAL VERSIONS IN GREAT SOLID MONO SOUND ON QUIET VINYL!

1965 PHILIPS PRESSED FONTANA TFL 6058 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1L/2L MATRIXES AND ROUGH TEXTURED LABELS.HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE:"BRITISH AND OTHER PATENTS PENDING" CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED AND A BEAUTIFULLY PRESERVED LAMINATED FRONT COVER.  AMAZING TO DISCOVER THIS GEM WITHIN THE COLLECTION OF A FORMER JAZZ AND CLASSICAL MUSIC COLLECTOR WHO HAD A FEW 1960s FOLK/POP ALBUMS THAT CLEARLY HAD VERY FEW PLAYS INDEED! JUST BEGIN TO IMAGINE WHAT AN LP FROM 50 YEARS AGO SOUNDS LIKE WITH PRACTICALLY NO CRACKLE,NO DISTORTION,NO CLICKS,NO STICKS,NO SWISHES-EVEN IN BETWEEN THE TRACKS! THIS IS A TRULY AMAZING COPY! GLEAMING SURFACES THAT RARELY EXIST ON ANY LP OF THIS AGE LET ALONE A 1960s FOLK/POP ONE THAT WOULD HAVE MAJOR SURFACE MARKS ADDED WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF USE BY THE MAJORITY OF BUYERS IN 1965!  THERE ARE NO SURFACE MARKS WHATSOEVER AND THAT IS BEING MEGA-STRICT!

DOES THE GRADING MINT EXIST? ONLY IF IT IS 100% UNPLAYED AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED WHICH IS WHY REGULAR BUYERS WILL KNOW MY NEAR MINT GRADINGS EQUAL MOST PEOPLE'S MINT! THEREFORE FOR ME TO ADD "VERY"TO MY NEAR MINT GRADING GIVES YOU THE IMPRESSION JUST HOW OUTSTANDING THIS EXAMPLE IS!

LOCATING AN OUTSTANDING VERY NEAR MINT COPY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING DISTORTION AND MAJOR WEAR. THIS COPY IS THE BEST I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD AND AS SUCH THE DISC IS STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION.

THICK VINYL.NO SPINDLE WEAR. NO WRITING, STAINING OR FADING! 

THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER HAS A COUPLE OF ULTRA TINY CREASES AND THE SIDE 1 AND 2 TOTAL TIMING+A PURCHASE DATE NEATLY ADDED IN SMALL PEN WRITING AT THE BACK BUT NO OTHER WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.THERE IS A WONDERFUL SHEEN AND CLEANLINESS WHICH TAKES THE BREATH AWAY! THIS WILL BE HARD TO BEAT! FACT!

ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS COVER I HAVE EVER SEEN!  

  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER,THE SPINE+BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE JOAN BAEZ LPs ENDING FROM ME FOR AUCTION ON EBAY WITHIN MINUTES OF THIS AUCTION ENDING.

PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH BUT PLEASE NO TIMEWASTERS.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
