Matrices A2//B3 - so very early Sandy Dennys first appearance, though on the back sleeve she's listed as Alexandra Elene MacLean Denny The record is an EX, a few light surface marks but nothing of concern, labels are clean and free from writing, theres a little spindle wear but not a great deal. Test played: Side 1 has a litle crackling to the intro and very beginning of Fotheringay and very slightly on the outro/ between tracks 1 & 2. Tracks 2 & 3 fine.
Track 4 is very quiet blues / slide gospel , theres a little light crackle here and there, one pop and a couple of light clicks.
Track 5 has the odd very very light crackle, Track 6 again a little crackle and I think one light click. Side 2 has a couple of clicks on intro but this disappears as the music fades in, first two tracks otherwise fine, there may be a little light crackle
but if so its difficult to tell apart fom the music.
track three does have a few light clicks, track 4 a little crackling though again light and only in the odd place. Track 5, light crackles here and there.
Track 6 fine
When I say light crackle I mean it - theres very little even between the tracks A superb example of one of the fairports finest hours Inner sleeve is white poly lined
Outer sleeve is front laminated , laminate side flips at the rear - this is a VG - theres some light creasing and a little ringwear, also some corner wear but nothing serious
The spine is easily readable but a little rounded with a few light creases.
Interestingly the album title doesnt appear on the spine, just the name of the band and the Island reference number Tracks are as follows; Fotheringay
