Description
Classic British Folk and just a small part of a recently acquired collection from two other stalwarts of the genre, Phil & Phillipa (Pip) Lyons who performed at The Cambridge Folk Festival and gathered many autographs of their fellow performers. (One of their own recordings is also up for grabs on one of my other listings, along with many more and some signed!!
Mike Absalom - Self-titled album (UK Vertigo 1971)
Triple gatefold - foldout poster sleeve with original Vertigo inner sleeve.
How many superlatives could be heaped upon this album? One of the most collectable & sought-after Vertigo releases, with the vinyl in mint-minus condition. (One spindle mark and absolute minimal feathering to vinyl)
The fold-out poster sleeve shows some sign of wear, as pictured, however the autograph (in pink) more than makes up for this!!
Also pictured is Phil & Pip Lyons, the revered recipients of this awesome, signed LP. Their recorded contribution will be featured in a forth-coming listing (Residents' Night Out - Fo'C'Sle Records 1977), along with LP's by Bert Jansch, Planxty, James Taylor & Lo Jai.
All records graded using The Rare Record Price Guide system, however as a long-established seller I do offer a full refund if not satisfied (as one man's excellent could be another's very good plus and vice versa!)
Email me with any questions, buyer pays shipping and settlement within 7 days of auction end via UK chq/postal order or Paypal.
