Description
fuchsia, original uk 1st pegasus pressing in textured sleeve. masterpiece of densely atmospheric baroque progressive, its not folkrock though it has a folky feel sometimes , but then it also has psychy flourishes.. it seems to be a unique original style, but ive heard elements of the melodies used in some older uk lps, and i think bits of the tunes are, probably subconsciously, borrowed...i cant remember which lps but ive sometimes been playing something and then click, think "that sound like fuchsia." and it does, cause its the same tune...some people say the ladies playing strings should have done the singing. why. then it'd be like joan baez fronting caravan. let them play the cellos, make the tea, then do the washing up, and durrant sing, he does fine.
grading is - cover / disc
vg++/ex its fuchsia, so its got a bit of ring wear. thin textured black card cover with soft black ink thats now 50 years old. this isnt as bad as most and looks nice. the spine is even mostly ok, and thats rare on this lp. the disc is close to a really strong ex. absolutely lovely example of a top level british progressive classic.
.
ive listed around 60 rare progressive, psych, folk and blues lps on ebay in a big clear out, please click other items if interested to see them all. they are all getting harder to find as the years go by, and prices and demand seems to have gone stratospheric.
all are 1st pressings, original uk editions.
all lps are placed in period/vintage plain paper inner sleeves. any generic polylined inner sleeves have been discarded as they are unsafe and damage lps, as per the policy of many serious collectors. old pvc lined inners are ageing, chemically unstable, and sticking to lps, paper inners are the only currently known way to avoid it. vertigo inners are retained and sent outside the covers to avoid damaging contact.
most photos show the fronts, backs, spine and labels so cover condition is fully visible in the photos.
lps listed include sam apple pie, hungry wolf, gerry lockran, mike westbrook love songs, shape of the rain, cressida, idle race, five day week straw people, dransfield, fuschia, rockin horse, gentle giant, and the now very rare aubrey small lp with insert.
grading is mainly visual, all the lps have been fully or partly tested mainly on the run in and first tracks, and any visible defects have been played through to see if theres any audible results.
tested on lenco/cyrus/tannoy 60s/70s equipment.
everything starts at 99p and theres no reserve prices!
POSTAGE - £5 for anywhere in europe and uk. if you bid from usa, japan, australia please wait for an invoice.
postage will be combined and reduced significantly for multiple wins, just wait for an invoice, if ebayers win a few lps postage will be free.
