Description

Welcome to Heart of Wax - Vinyl online record shop. I shall endeavour to post up as many exciting records up here that I find. Usually all from private collections which I've sourced. I'm happy to post out records to the UK, Europe and the Rest of The World (please see prices below). Generally each record is secondhand and has been played. All have been cleaned and listened to by myself. And if there are any faults or defects, I will provide them in an honest description below.

ANDY ROBERTS - HOME GROWN

UK press 1970. A very rare English folk/pop/country record released on orange RCA label. This is Roberts' debut solo album it was first released on RCA in 1970 and had 14 tracks. Then only one year later it came out on a different label with five fewer songs! And was all remixed and sounded rubbish....apparently. This is the genuine article.

Anyway, it's an overlooked early 70's folk-rock record with huge appeal. It's gentle and immediately likeable drawing from a wide spectrum of folk-rock influences including pop and country. What really makes the record is the charm and wit, the English sound of brass and strings especially on 'The One Armed Boatman and the Giant Squid.' And the fact that it's really rather cheery. It makes you want to sit down and pay full attention to it. I am listening to it now and again the 'English-ness' of it reminds me hugely of The Kinks and The Jam.

CONDITION

Sleeve - VG-Ex - decent condition.

LP - VG - only some minor surface...scuffs?? Only superficial and don't impact on play. It has a nice sheen to it also. Priced accordingly.

Clean orange RCA labels.
