Marc Ellington is a Scottish folksinger and multi-instrumentalist who has guested with Fairport Convention on the latter group's recordings, starting with providing some vocal support on the Unhalfbricking album in 1969.
Additionally, he worked with Matthews Southern Comfort on their self-titled 1969 LP, playing percussion, and recorded his debut album that same year, which featured his singing, guitar work, and bagpipes. The latter album, recorded on the Ampex label (USA), also included contributions from Fairport alumni Simon Nicol and Richard Thompson.
Ellington subsequently contributed to several of Thompson's recordings, and sang on Linda Thompson's 1996 Dreams Fly Away. He has appeared at the Cropedy Festival organized around Fairport, and as of 2007 was the Deputy Lieutenant of Aberdeenshire and a member of the Heritage Lottery Fund Committee for Scotland.

Please see other items for some more rare UK LPs AND 45s.
I am listing a collection of records gathered together by a deceased music lover of many years. They vary in condition and usage. All are graded visually as per the ‘Rare record price guide’ guidelines. I have 100% feed back and intend to keep it that way, so if you are not 100% happy with your purchase I am happy to give a full refund excluding P&P, as soon as the record is returned to me. Please allow the full amount of E-bay time stipulated for delivery as I am selling a lot of records at the same time, which is very time consuming from a P&P point of view. All questions answered. Good luck with bidding.
NOW, AT LONG LAST - THE LPs FROM THE SAME COLLECTION, MANY OF WHICH WERE HARDLEY PLAYED (IF AT ALL).
A silly start price and a sensible reserve, this record will sell this time out, so don't miss it. I have 100% feed back, so bid with confidence full refund (excluding P&P) in not fully satisfied with this item.
Postage is at COST, please request a shipping price before bidding if you are not serviced by Royal Mail. I.E. Outside the UK.
P&P £4.00 Royal Mail first class - £7.00 for Royal Mail Special Delivery. Please note: 1st class post is not a trackable service, which is why I offer Royal Mail Special Delivery as an option because this is trackable. I always obtain 'proof of postage' slips for 1st class post, however, this does not entitle any compensation, should the package go missing, it simply proves to you and E-bay that I posted the package to the address stated on the date stamped. The risk is yours to take, but I would strongly recommend that if you are paying a large sum of money for a rare record, then you should choose the 'Royal Mail Special Delivery' option to safeguard your purchase.
INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS WELCOME, PLEASE ASK ABOUT STD INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE TO YOUR LOCATION.
