YOU ARE VIEWING THE HOLY GRAIL OF COLLECTABLE FOLK RECORDS
TICKAWINDA: ROSEMARY LANE LP
PSS 153 LP , PRIVATE PRESSING OF 300 COPIES (PENNINE RECORDS) 1979.
SUPERB FEMALE AND MALE VOCALISTS/MUSICIANS, THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL ALBUM.
CONDITION: SLEEVE, SUPERB CREAM COLOURED SLEEVE WITH SEPIA PHOTO AND BROWN TITLES, THE LIGHTEST WEAR TO THE CORNERS AND VERY GENTLE RUBS TO EXTREMETIES, VERY FAINT CREASE LINE TO TOP LEFT AND ONLY A TOUCH OF RING WEAR, SPINE IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND THE WHOLE SLEEVE IS INCREDIBLY CLEAN. (THIS RECORD HAS BEEN EXTREMELY WELL PRESERVED) EX/EX+ SEE PHOTOGRAPHS
VINYL: THE RECORD IS IN SUPERB CONDITION AND HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED, THE LABELS ARE THE WRONG WAY ROUND (A COMMON FEATURE WITH THESE FIRST PRESSINGS) ABSOLUTELY NO WEAR TO THE LABELS, NO VISIBLE SPINDLE MARKS, CRISP AND FRESH. THE VINYL HAS A DEEP, GLOSSY SHINE CONSIDERING IT'S AGE. THERE IS ONE SMALL PRESSING FLAW TO SIDE TWO (WHICH IS ACTUALLY SIDE 1 WITH THE WRONG LABEL) , IT IS NOT A SCRATCH OR SCUFF BUT A SMALL MANUFACTURING INCONSISTENCY TO THE VINYL ITSELF, A TINY 'SHALLOW FLAW' IN THE VINYL EFFECTING APPROX 0.5CM ACROSS EFFECTING THE TRACK 'WALTZING MATILDA'. (WHEN ALBUMS ARE PRIVATELY PRESSED AT SMALL INDEPENDANT PRESSING PLANTS YOU WILL OFTEN SEE ABNORMALITIES WHICH HAVE OCCURED DURING THE PRESS ITSELF). THIS ANAMOLY CAN BARELY BE SEEN IN SOME LIGHT AND EFFECTS APPROXIMATELY 2 MINS OF THE TRACK WITH A SHORT 'BRUSHING CLICK, FWUP' NOISE. THROUGHOUT THE TWO MINUTES YOU CAN HEAR IT CLEARLY IN PLACES AND NOT IN OTHERS. THE AUDIO IN GENERAL IS FANTASTIC. I AM TRYING TO BE AS THOROUGH AS POSSIBLE, SAVE THAT ANOMOLY THE RECORD IS AN EX+ COPY.
THE LAST COPY ON EBAY TOOK OVER £2000 A FEW WEEKS AGO, WE ALL KNOW HOW SCARCE THIS ONE IS......GOOD LUCK!
