PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO VIEW MY SITE AS THERE ARE OFTEN OTHER INTERESTING ITEMS ON OFFER.... RARE FARAWAY FOLK LP FROM 1975...THE FOLLOWING EXTRACT IS TAKEN FROM A FARAWAY FOLK WEBSITE.... SEASONAL MAN * THE YULE LOG * COMING BACK TO BRIXHAM * PATTERNED MOON * SUMMER'S ENDCROW ON A CRADLE * SPARROW * PORTLAND TOWN * CHERRY TREE CAROL * BONNY BLACK HAIR (sic)
John Turk = guitars (incl. Gibson SR with Fuzz pedal), mandolin, vocal * Adrian Morris = rhythm guitars, harmonica, vocal
Shirley Turk = percussion, vocal * Bryony Smith = bass, banjo, vocal RA / Faraway Folk's finest hour (well, 40 minutes anyway). The tracks for this album were assembled with recordings made over a period of 10 months. As studio time was not an issue regarding cost, being as John, etc could use it at anytime for free when it was not in use, it was decided to assemble and release a studio album
Recorded 1974 / 75 * Issued 1975
The cover art is by John, who had a disagreement with Tony Waldron over what should be on the front. Tony did not want to have this painting on the front sleeve, and was quite adamant that a photograph, most probably the one that is within the gatefold of the Folk, to be used. However, John stuck to his guns, and in the end got his way, but not entirely. The original painting was quite large, and was to fill the complete 12" x 12" area, but Tony had it reduced somewhat. By the way, in case anyone is wondering, the original painting was thrown out (don't ask) sometime ago!Important: some examples of this title were mis-pressed. (actually, the first 100). Side 1 or side 2 banding is off-centre, and on playing will be evident, especially as the stylus draws nearer to the end tracks ~ ouch! This fault can be identified by observing the varying width of the run-in at opposite ends. Do not compare the gap between the run-off to label area, as sometimes it is just the label that is not dead centre. A GREAT CHANCE TO GET A COPY OF THIS RARE DEVON FOLK LP AND ONE OF ONLY 100 MISPRESSED (MINUS THE SLEEVE - THATS HOW IT CAME TO ME AS A TASTER SO MANY YEARS AGO - MAY HAVE BEEN A LOCAL ADVANCE COPY BUT IS NOT MARKED AS SUCH IN WAY. RECORD IS OF COURSE ON YELLOW "RA", LABEL. RECORD IS A LOVELY HEAVYWEIGHT 180gm PRESSING AND IS UNWARPED. RECORD WILL BE SENT IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FOR THE PURPOSES OF TRANSPORT AND STORAGE. MATRIX DETAILS SHOW THIS TO BE A FIRST PRESSING AS RALP 6029A-1 and RA LP 6029 B. I WILL DESCRIBE THE DEFECTS THAT I CAN SEE AND I ALSO WILL SHOW YOU PLENTY OF PHOTOGRAPHS SO YOU CAN REALLY ASSESS CONDITION. THE PLAYING SURFACES ARE IN VERY GOOD TO VERY GOOD+ CONDITION WITH LITTLE GROOVE WEAR FROM PLAY. THERE IS SOME GENERAL SURFACE MARKING; MAINLY AS LIGHTER SCUFFS AND LIGHT SCRATCHES. THE RECORD IS NOT WARPED AT ALL AND PLAYS WELL WITH SOME SURFACE NOISE MOSTLY NOTICEABLE BETWEEN TRACKS IN PLACES AND QUITER SECTIONS AND IN THE RUN-OFF GROOVES TO BOTH SIDES WHEN THE STYLUS WILL COLLIDE WITH THE LABEL IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL - NOT A PLEASANT SOUND!! THIS, AS THE WEB DETAILS SHOW IT TO BE A FAULT IN THE FIRST 100 OR SO PRESSED SO YOU KNOW THIS IS A VERY EARLY COPY. THE LABELS ARE EXCELLENT (NO WRITING, STICKERS, etc). THERE IS SOME LIGHT SPINDLE MARKING AND SOME WEAR TO THE MID PART OF LABEL TO SIDE TWO. POSTAGE AND PACKING WILL COST 4.25 GBP FIRST CLASS RECORDED IN THE UK, AND BY INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR ROUTE COSTING 10.00 GBP TO EUROPE AND 12.50 GBP TO THE REST OF THE WORLD. THE INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR SERVICE COSTS 4.95 ON ITS OWN. I WILL OF COURSE SEND THE LP FULLY PROTECTED IN A RECORD MAILER WITH QUALITY CORRUGATED CARD TO BOTH SIDES. I HAVE SOLD OVER 1800 ITEMS ON EBAY INCLUDING A LARGE RANGE OF ITEMS WITH NO NEGATIVE FEEDBACK SO THAT SHOULD GIVE YOU THE ASSURANCE THAT YOU CAN BID WITH CONFIDENCE!! IN CONCLUSION I WOULD SAY THIS RARE DEVON FOLK LP IS IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION. I TRY TO GIVE YOU ALL THE DETAILS THAT I THINK YOU WILL NEED ON THE CONDITION OF THE RECORD BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ANYTHING MORE THEN PLEASE JUST ASK!! PERSONAL COLLECTION IS ALSO ACCEPTABLE. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED SO GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BIDDING!! PLEASE LOOK AT MY RECORD OF 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK TO BE ASSURED I AM A TOTALLY HONEST SELLER. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING!!
