Description
THE CHOIR OF ST. THOMAS THE MARTYR (CITY) BRISTOL: Music From Saint Thomas (Warren Recordings, WAR LP 337, 1974, LP)
This looks like something from the late 1950s or early 1960s with the silk screened (slapdash with the background done with matt enamel paint, by the look of it!) front sleeve and plain rear, and it is a surprise to find it is from 1974. There is an insert with details of performers and works.
The Keith Tippett connections are that he was in a church choir with his family members, here, at five and learned church organ there. The choir here includes his father, Patrick Tippetts, and brother, Clive Tippetts, (and another relative, by the look of it, Graham Tippetts - probably his grandfather). Tippetts was Keith Tippett's real name - he dropped the final "s" for his stage name because of the music press and promotors to get the apostrophe in the right place for Keith Tippetts' Group. True!
KEITH TIPPETT IS NOT ON THIS LP! It is interesting enough in its own right!
The sleeve is decent enough, even with some writing by the original owner on the rear - see the photos. The record plays at EX, though with some distortion on several higher frequency sections. It is as rare as the proverbial rocking horse s**t, though, so try finding another copy.
* * * * Records generally have hairline marks from going in and out of sleeves - I do not mention these unless they cause audible noise. All records are play tested unless explicitly stated otherwise. Most of the records I am selling play at "Excellent" or "Very Good" as per Record Collector grading. Any specific defects are otherwise described in the listing. Please look at the photos carefully for condition of sleeves/labels.
All items won, up to a value of £50.00, will be sent as Royal Mail 'signed for'. If items are bid above £50.00 (or multiple items combine to more than £50), they will be sent as Royal Mail Special Delivery, so that parcels are correctly insured against loss or damage in transit. If you win multiple items, please wait for me to invoice with correct postage. Note that the postage costs stated include packaging costs. Where possible, packaging will be recycled but sturdy/secure.
Combined postage *for UK buyers only* - 6 single LPs costs the same to post as 1 single LP. Note that if you win items in multiple formats, (e.g., an LP and a CD), these have to be sent as multiple parcels (though I can bundle up 7" records with an LP).
*Non-UK bidders* please note that I use eBay's Global Shipping Programme, which means every item won has to be packaged and sent separately so combined postage is not possible.
Non-paying high bidders will be blocked from bidding on future items.
* * * * Unless stated otherwise, all items are from my own collection. Most has been in storage for nearly 20 years. Lockdowns made me wonder why I have multiple copies of records that I will never listen to. There are about 8,000 more items to come from my rambling progressive, jazz fusion, folk, blues, 1950s stereo classical and easy listening, psychedelic, reggae, ambient, spoken word, comedy, railway, field recordings, electronic and occasionally just plain 'out there' collection.
