ORIGINAL 1st Ed. Pressing: THESE TRAILS- Sinergia SR 4059: PSYCH FOLK SIGNED NM

We are pleased to offer one of the great rarities in Psych Folk: a signed, Original First Edition of "These Trails" on Sinergia SR-4059 from 1973. The vinyl and the cover are NM, and come with the original paper inner sleeve, complete with the track listings and lyrics.

Although there have been some re-releases in more recent years, very few pressings of the original 1st edition on Sinergia were made, and the distribution of them was  limited, in the main, to Hawaii.

Apparently, it is the only record ever recorded by the group, and they didn't have an "official" name other than the album title. The exquisite, melodic voice of Margaret Morgan has no other known recording, and we understand that she (sadly) passed away in 2011. Her recording here has become one for the ages.

THESE TRAILS

THE VINYL :  NM :  This beautiful record is lightly played with minimal evidence of spindlewear, and both sides of the LP surface retain all of their original gloss. Bright, undamaged labels (please see photos). Other than light sleevewear from the original paper inner sleeve,  there are no marks on either side.

Private Press labels can sometimes use a vinyl composition that is (kindly said) sub-optimal, so I completed a play grade of the LP. This is not the case with Sinergia: the audio quality is quite good, and confirms the visual grade of NM.
 
The record shows exceptional care and handling, and very limited play time.

Dead Wax Run-Out Identifiers :

Side 1 :  SR-4059  < S-1  > 2-sap  p.c.

Side 2 :   SR-4059  < S-2 >  ae  2-sap

Present also are some artisan marks.

THE COVER :  NM :  Exceptionally well-stored / bright images / sharp corners / minor edgewear / no ringwear / all of the seams, including the spine, are intact / no paper loss, stains, dirt, and no writing (other than the autographs).

While I have placed both the cover and the LP into protective plastic sleeves, the original paper inner sleeve is included. It has a few creases (please see photos), but otherwise it is in fine shape.


ABOUT THE AUTOGRAPHS :  Please use the magnification feature on the photo of the autographed back cover. There seems to be two signatures: the smaller one (in red) reads "Now and forever, Marg". The larger one in blue ("For Mark...") seems to say "Aloha Pumehana Mystery", followed by a signature / inscription.

Please examine the photos carefully.

RECORD GRADING DESCRIPTION:

THIS RECORD IS SIGHT-GRADED ONLY UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT, ACCORDING TO THESE DEFINITIONS:

SEALED: RECORD IS WRAPPED IN PLASTIC & UNOPENED.

NM-: RECORD HAS LITTLE OR NO INDICATION THAT IT HAS BEEN PLAYED.

EX: MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE (LIGHT SCRATCHING/PAPER SCUFFS), BUT IN ALL A RECORD THAT HAS BEEN WELL-CARED FOR.

VG+: LESS CARE THAN EX, LIGHT SCRATCHING OR SCUFFING IS MORE EXTENSIVE. STILL VERY PLAYABLE & WILL LIKELY PROVIDE A QUALITY SOUND.

VG & BELOW: WHILE PLAYABLE, THIS RECORD HAS BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK. OBVIOUS SIGNS OF WEAR & SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TO BE IN A LOW GRADE.  A RECORD GRADED BELOW VG MAY HAVE A VALUE BASED UPON ITS RARITY OR UNIQUENESS.

WE  RECOMMEND THAT YOU CLEAN THIS RECORDING BEFORE PLAYING. RECORDS THAT ARE  DECADES OLD CAN ATTRACT & ACCUMULATE DAMAGING FOREIGN MATERIAL THAT REDUCES SOUND QUALITY. THIS IS NORMALLY EASILY CORRECTED WITH A GOOD CLEANING.
