MELLOW CANDLE LP - SWADDLING SONGS - DERAM RECORDS - 1972. ********************************Great condition original record up for sale. The record has been played a few times, but there is no lessening of the sound quality. The cover and packaging have slight wear/discolouration as can be seen in the 5 attached photographs, however there are no major defects******************************** I've not sold a vintage record like this before, but if you have any questions, do ask and I will be pleased to try and answer! I have put royal mail postage and buyer collects as options for this auction - the second may be more preferable if possible to minimise any damage to the item during transit. However if postage is chosen I will take great care in ensuring the item is well packed and protected. In response to a number of questions I have received, I am happy to send the record by insured intl postage if the buyer will pay. Also I don't know much about records but i've been asked about the number on the centre of the record. The two sides have: ZAL-11141.P-1W and ZAL-11142.P-2W on them. I hope this helps! A little about the record - (from net) Released in 1972, this superb slice of Dublin-based psychedelic folk-rock went largely unnoticed at the time, but has since been revered as a classic of its time. Mellow Candle were a progressive folk rock band. Principally Irish, the members were also unusually young, Clodagh Simonds being only 15 and Alison Bools (later O'Donnell) 16, and still at school, at the time of their first single, "Feelin' High", released in 1968 on Simon Napier-Bell's SNB Records. By 1972, the lineup had expanded to include Dave Williams on guitar, Frank Boylan on bass, and William Murray on drums. With this lineup in place, the band released their only album, Swaddling Songs (Deram Records), which was commercially unsuccessful at the time. Over the years, however, the lone album by the band has received considerable critical acclaim and original vinyl copies are now very valuable.
