GLASTONBURY FAYRE - ORIGINAL 1972 3 LP SET COMPLETE RARE MUSICAL ANTHOLOGY with LIVE RECORDINGS OF THIS HISTORIC 1972 MUSIC FESTIVAL

Up for auction is an original 3-LP set GLASTONBURY FAYRE: A music anthology (3-LP set with booklets, pyramid & printed polythene bag)  released in the UK on the Revelation label REV 1/2/3 in 1972 and sold in the USA as a British Import (imported by JEM Records, S. Plainfield, NJ).  This extremely scarce (5000 copies) UK pressing 3-LP set (even more scarce as a British Import to the States) is in superb condition and comes complete with all its original inserts.

The 3-LP set contains live recordings of the historic 1971 Glastonbury Fayre Festival held at Worthy Farm, Pilton, near Shepton Mallet, Somerset, from Sunday June 20 to Thursday June 24, 1971. The 3-LP set also contains some material that was recorded elsewhere such as the track Sunken Rags by Marc Bolan which was recorded at his home. The LP is sought after for a range of reasons – it contains otherwise unreleased material by Marc Bolan, David Bowie and Pete Townshend. In addition Grateful Dead fans, Hawkwind collectors and Pink Fairy aficionados / completists all seek this LP for the recordings these 3-LPs contain.

Condition of this fantastic set is as follows-

Disc 1 – mint, no marks, no spindle trails, shiny, and clean.                                                      

Disc 2 – mint, no marks, no spindle trails, shiny, and clean.                                                      

Disc 3 – mint, no marks, no spindle trails, shiny, and clean.                                                         

All three albums have been play AT MOST ONCE, some sides NOT AT ALL. This was purchased as a collectable by special order in 1973.

GIGANTIC FOLDOUT POSTER COVER – excellent / EX+ condition with no tears with un-creased folds that create the album jacket (it was never made into the poster but instead protected the discs and other material).

2 FOLD OUT POSTERS – these are in excellent/EX+ condition with no tears or creases (again neither of these were ever made into the poster but instead were kept intact inside the foldout poster cover and have only been opened up on several occasions.

32 PAGE BOOKLET – in superb EX+ condition.

PYRAMID – this was never used and remains in EX+/ near mint condition.

PRINTED POLYTHENE OUTER COVER - It comes with the rare polythene outer bag – which has protected the rest of the contents very well.  This printed polythene outer bag (which is usually missing on the rare occasions that the set is up for sale) has some minor wear, a few scratches, residue of tape or something on poly surface at the top of graphic (¼ x 1 ½ inches) and some edge wear and small holes in the bottom corner – however the printed logo and all the wording is still visible and the British Import label is Mint. The bag is graded at VG /VG+ - having done its job of protecting the rest of the package.    

Overall this is a beautiful original 3-LP set from the historic Glastonbury 1972 Music Festival that is hard-to-find especially in this superb condition.
