Description
HERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A CLASSIC PIECE OF FOLK BLUES HISTORY. THIS THREE TRACK EP FEATURES UK BLUES GODFATHER ALEXIS KORNER AND THE GREAT FOLK GUITARIST DAVY GRAHAM. RECORDED AT THE HOME OF BILL LEADER IN APRIL 1961, RELEASED ON TOPIC RECORDS IN APRIL 1962.
THE EP WAS RELEASED WITH THREE COVER VARIATIONS (MAUVE, LILAC & BRONZE) , AND TWO LABELS (CREAM & BLUE). THIS IS THE MUCH RARER FIRST ISSUE WITH THE MAUVE SURROUND AND THE PICTURE OF THE BEARDLESS DAVY GRAHAM. THE CREAM TOPIC LABEL DENOTING THE EARLY PRESSING.
THE SLEEVE NOTES ARE WRITTEN BY ALEXIS KORNER. THE TRACKS ARE : SIDE 1 - ANGI , DAVY'S TRAIN BLUES SIDE 2 - 3/4 AD. THE VINYL IS IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION, JUST A FEW TINY WHISPY MARKS ARE VISIBLE AND NO SPINDLE TRAILS ARE EVIDENT.LABELS ARE MINT. CONSERVATIVELY GRADED EXCELLENT PLUS. THE UNLAMINATED COVER IS COMPLETELY INTACT, JUST A HINT OF A CREASE TO ONE OF THE CORNERS BUT HARDLY NOTICABLE, ALL EDGES ARE SOLID, THE OPENING EDGES ARE STILL FIRM WITH NO FEATHERING AT ALL. THE BACK PANEL HAS NONE OF THE YELLOWING THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FOR A NEAR FIFTY YEAR OLD COVER. THE UPPER AND LOWER FLIPBACKS ARE WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE AT ALL. THE COVER IS GRADED EXCELLENT PLUS.
THE AUDIO IS JUST ABOUT PERFECT APART FROM A COUPLE OF VERY SOFT CLICKS ON SIDE TWO, LOVELY WARM MONO SOUND.
OVERALL A SUPERB COPY OF THIS CLASSIC EP, A BETTER ONE WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO GET HOLD OF IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE. THE WINNING BIDDER WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. POSTAGE WILL BE BY RECORDED DELIVERY AND THE DISC WILL BE REMOVED FROM ITS COVER TO PREVENT ANY DAMAGE IN TRANSIT. PACKAGING WILL BE VERY STURDY. OVERSEAS POSTAGE AVAILABLE, PLEASE ASK FOR THE COST BEFORE BIDDING (IT WILL BE REASONABLE)
FULL REFUND WILL BE GIVEN IF THE WINNING BIDDER IS NOT SATISFIED. THIS IS SUBJECT TO THE ITEM BEING RETURNED TO ME IN THE SAME CONDITION AS WHEN IT WAS SENT.
ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK
