Really excellent collection of English ballads, sea shanties, instrumentals and sea songs on this French double album. The people involved reads like a who's who of British folk artists and various combinations of the above perform the songs, A.L.Loyd dominating the collection. A beautifully varied selection, the final selection on side 4 are all songs relating to Lord Nelson. The two albums are housed in a gatefold cover and there is a very detailed sixteen page booklet stapled in. This contains details and lyrics to all the songs [lyrics in English, text in French] plus a lot of history and photographs. Both albums are in top condition with unmarked vinyl and apart from the odd light dust click and odd spot of low level dust crackle play perfectly throughout. All labels perfect with no marks or inscriptions and both records are graded as Mint-. Cover in good condition with no splits or tears. Corner crease to top right hand corner also effecting the back cover. Small nick to bottom left side of rear sleeve otherwise the sleeve is in clean condition and overall grading is EX-. The album is not dated but I would think that it was issued around 1980. A really top quality collection and highly recommended.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE MAKING PAYMENT

Instances are still occuring where overseas buyers are making payment without checking the shipping costs to destinations outside of the U.K.While fast payment is much appreciated,the substantial difference in rates cannot be absorbed.We try to make shipping costs on each item as clear as possible and rates are quoted for all destinations on each listing.When payment is made via Paypal it is not adequate just to pay the balance via a second payment as Paypal make a further charge as if a separate transaction.This invariably seems to occur on small monetary value items and the charges become totally disproportionate to the cost of the item.If you are not sure of the shipping charges PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL AN INVOICE IS RECEIVED FROM FIREBIRD RECORDS.If incorrect payment is made we will have no alternative but to refund the total payment and request that the correct amount be paid.On several occasions recently where underpayment has occured,requests for additional payment have been ignored but despite this we have forwarded the goods.In future no items will be sent until correct single payment has been made.If no response is obtained within 7 days of request,the sale will be declared void and the item withdrawn from offer.Again we would apologise to the great majority of our ebay customers for having to restate this and who seem to have no problem reading and understanding our shipping costs.

We normally contact all successfull bidders at end of auction and if necessary invoice direct rather than using Ebay as this allows us to make alternative methods of posting much clearer especially with more valuable items.

If there is a problem with making payment within the specified period [holidays etc] please advise us before bidding. Receipt of payment is always ackowledged and items are normally posted out within a maximum of 48 hours after payment. We do not post over weekends so there may be a slight delay where payments are received on Friday or Saturday. Regarding feedback, in the past we have always left feedback on receipt of payment. However due to the increasing number of members who in return seem incapable of observing this most basic of Ebay protocols,this policy is now under review.

Please note that items offered for auction on E-bay may be offered for sale by Firebird Records elsewhere and might be removed at any time so please bid early and sensibly.

Would successful bidders please not use checkout but await receipt of invoice from Firebird Records before paying.
