KEN SAUL(STONE ANGEL)"SEASHELLS".1971 PRIVATE PRESSING+INSERT-ONLY 100 COPIES

	£		775
	$		925

ATTENTION SERIOUSLY RARE RECORD COLLECTORS!HERE'S ONE OF THE RAREST EVER FOLK/ACID FOLK/PRIVATE PRESSING LPs MADE IN 1971 FEATURING THE HIGHLY RATED SINGER/SONGWRITER KEN SAUL,WHO WENT ON TO BE ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE PROGRESSIVE/FOLK BAND-STONE ANGEL.

THIS SOLO ALBUM CALLED"SEASHELLS"WAS MADE AS A PRIVATE PRESSING OF JUST 100 COPIES INTENDED ONLY FOR SALE AT KEN'S APPEARANCES IN FOLK CLUBS WITH MOST OF THE FEW COPIES THAT SURVIVE NOT HAVING THE INSERT WHICH HAS CLEARLY REMAINED INSIDE THE COVER FOR MOST OF THE LAST 40+ YEARS. SEASHELL MUSIC SSLP 02.THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE:RJF SS LP 102 A RJF SS LP 102 B. THE LAST COPY TO SELL ON EBAY FETECHED JUST OVER £700 AND THAT COPY DIDN'T HAVE THE INSERT INCLUDED LIKE THIS COPY! THE OUTER COVER HAS THE SIMPLE FELT TIP PEN TYPE DESIGN WHICH I THINK WAS INDIVIDUALLY DRAWN BY HAND,POSSIBLY BY KEN HIMSELF! THE BACK OF THE COVER AND INSERT ARE BLANK AS YOU WILL OBSERVE IN ONE OF THE 6 PHOTOS SHOWING BOTH LABELS+FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND INSERT.    

THE DISC ITSELF HAS VERY THICK VINYL-FAR THICKER THAN MOST PRIVATE PRESSING LPs. THERE ARE SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS,THE HAIRLINE/COVER REMOVAL/LIGHT CLEANING TYPE BUT ONLY A LITTLE FAINT SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE.THERE ARE A FEW ISOLATED CLICKS AND POPS WHICH LAST JUST A FEW SECONDS AND HARDLY NOTICEABLE. THE RECORDING IS NOT OF THE GREATEST QUALITY BEING MADE BY A NON-PROFESSIONAL RECORD COMPANY BUT IS STILL VERY HYPNOTIC AND HAS THE SIMILAR FEEL AND CHARM OF NICK DRAKE. MUCH HAS BEEN WRITTEN ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS LP AND YOU CAN HEAR CLIPS FOR YOURSELF ON VARIOUS SITES.

THE COVER HAS A TINY SURFACE TEAR AT THE FRONT WHERE A SMALL STICKER HAS BEEN REMOVED,SOME TINY EDGE CREASES AND A LITTLE STAINING BUT NO RIPS,WRITING OR REPAIRS.

A CHANCE TO OWN THIS LP MAY NOT COME ALONG FOR YEARS-IT HAS BEEN ON THE WANTS LISTS OF MANY COLLECTORS FOR YEARS AND IS BOUND TO RISE IN VALUE MAKING THIS A GREAT INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY.

MY REALISTIC STARTING PRICE OF £200 WOULD BE SNAPPED UP IN MY PHYSICAL SHOP OR AT ANY RECORD FAIR SO PLEASE BE PREPARED FOR KEEN BIDDING ON THIS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND RECORD FROM A RELIABLE SELLER!

  THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT SOLD WERE NOT WELL CARED FOR WHICH EXPLAINS THEIR RARITY,VALUE AND DESIRABILITY 42 YEARS LATER AND AS SUCH THIS IS AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY TO BID FOR A BRILLIANT ITEM THAT HAS HAD JUST ONE PREVIOUS,CAREFUL OWNER SINCE BUYING IT BACK IN 1971 DIRECT FROM THE SINGER/SONGWRITER AT ONE OF HIS LIVE APPEARANCES AS THIS WAS ONLY AVAILABLE THAT WAY-A TINY PRINT RUN OF JUST 100 COPIES-MOST IN THE COLLECTIONS OF COLLECTORS WHO WILL NOT SELL-THE LAST COPY I FOUND WAS OVER 10 YEARS AGO! 

The vast majority of copies sold of this album were often played on poor equipment,in many cases taken to parties or played in smokey clubs,not well cared for with no long term investment in mind!

Most that were buying albums in 1971 were usually using dreadful equipment!  

An ideal opportunity to add a RARE album to your collection that is bound to rise in value,especially in this condition!
