What can I say, Extremely Rare Private Pressed Album from 1972,
One we can assume was limited to under 100 copies.
Not a lot of information available and only 4 documented sales on popsike.
This LP does not come up for sale very often.
So whats it like?
Here is Richard Falks review taken from his blog
Bessie Long (joint lead vocals), Sandy Balmer (joint lead vocals, autoharp)
Dy Swindlehurst (occasional vocals), Sandra Pickersgill (occasional vocals)
This is basically Swindlefolk under another name,
though musically it’s rather different from their earlier work.
Offering delicate, haunting acoustic versions of material like Steeleye Span’s ‘A Calling-On Song’,
Fairport Convention’s ‘Who Knows Where The Time Goes?’
and Pentangle’s ‘Let No Man Steal Your Thyme’,
This often reminds me of an unplugged Beggars’ Hill, though it’s more consistent. Only a couple of copies have resurfaced thus far, only one of which has its original oversized sleeve (with a hand-pasted photograph on the front)
Now for condition.
Vinyl - EX++ Very little sign of ever being played
Labels - EX++ Both Labels are free of and dirty marks or writing,
One faint spindle mark on side 2 label.
Handmade Oversized Sleeve - VG +
Made of thick paper, it has suffered with ringwear and folds to the corners.
Some slight Damage on the opening as pictured
There are no splits on the seams.
Comes with Pasted on Original Knights Photograph
Playback - There is some crackle in quiet parts
But think this is the recording rather than the record it's self,
Other sold copies have been described as the same.
If there are any questions or you require additional photos,
Please don't hesitate to ask.
