Description
Rare Private Downer/Loner Folk LP CIAMPI Listen
Label: Ciampi Records, original private pressing
Record Condition: visually grades VG+. Like many DIY private presses this is not a high quality pressing so expect to hear some clicks and pops.
Cover Condition: VG++ (the front cover, which was glued onto the cardboard backing by hand by the artist, is loose but could easily be reglued if desired. It's still attached along one edge. The back cover, which contains the lyrics to all the songs, is still firmly attached to the cover but there's a minor one-inch tear.)
Note: Super rare loner folk album by this singer-songwriter who was based in the Bay Area at the time of release (1977). From speaking with Ciampi, there were a small number of these pressed, perhaps 300. This copy was found in a local record store and efforts to find additional copies have proved futile. This may be your only chance to get this. As for the music, I will let the soundclips speak for themselves but I will say I am a fan of the album, and the hand-drawn cover does capture the vibe pretty well.
