THE SWINDLEFOLK

~ SWINDLED ~

(1969 DEROY RECORDS - VERY RARE PRIVATE PRESSING!!)

ON OFFER HERE IS A VERY RARE PRIVATE PRESSING OF THE HUGELY SOUGHT AFTER FEMALE VOCAL FOLK ALBUM ~ SWINDLED ~ BY THE SWINDLEFOLK.

THIS FANTASTIC FOLK ALBUM WAS PRESSED BY THE obscure but MASSIVELY collectable DEROY label from Carnforth, Lancashire. Deroy Sound Services WERE A PRIVATELY RUN, custom recording-and-pressing concern.  It was owned by Derrick Marsh AND THE LABEL recorded AND PRESSED some very desirable Folk and Rock albums, by the likes of THE SWINDLEFOLK, Parameter, Forever Amber, and Dark. all of which were given extremely limited pressings. LESS THAN 100 COPIES OF THIS PARTICULAR RECORD WERE PRESSED!!

THE ALBUM ON OFFER HERE IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE AND IS COMPLETE WITH IT’S “HAND-MADE’ SLEEVE. THE PLAIN WHITE SLEEVE HAS BLACK TEXT ON THE BACK WITH DETAILS OF THE GROUP MEMBERS, TRACK LISTING AND NOTES ABOUT THE GROUP AND THEIR CAREER. THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE HAS A STYLISH BLACK AND ORANGE SLICK PASTED ON TO IT. THIS PRECIOUS COVER ART IS OFTEN LOOSE BUT THIS IS FIRMLY AFFIXED.

THE VERY HEAVY BLACK VINYL HAS PLAIN WHITE LABELS WITH “DEROY” SOUND SERVICE TEXT. THERE IS NO INFORMATION ABOUT THE ARTISTS OR THE RECORDING. OFTEN THESE LABELS HAVE INSCRIPTIONS BUT FORTUNATELY THESE ARE PRISTINE.

THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS DEROY SOUND SERVICE DEROY DER 112

THE SLEEVE

I HAVE DESCRIBED THE SUPERB SLEEVE IN DETAIL ABOVE. IT IS IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION. THERE IS SOME LIGHT WEAR AND THERE IS SOME TANNING. THERE IS A 2” SPLIT TO THE TOP EDGE AND THERE ARE FOUR SMALL TEARS AT THE OPENING (0.5” OR LESS). THERE IS A BIT OF SCUFFING TO A COUPLE OF THE CORNERS.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY, GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW VERY SLIGHT HAIRLINE MARKS. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED THIS WONDERFUL ALBUM AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

MINT (M) THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS OR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND ANY EXTRA ITEMS SUCH AS THE LYRIC SHEET, BOOKLET OR POSTER ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. RECORDS ADVERTISED AS SEALED OR UNPLAYED SHOULD BE MINT.

EXCELLENT (EX) THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND PACKAGING MIGHT HAVE SLIGHT WEAR AND/OR CREASING.

VERY GOOD (VG) THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES, BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY, DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE COVER OR EXTRA ITEMS, WITHOUT ANY MAJOR DEFECTS, IS ACCEPTABLE.

GOOD (G) THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS NOTICEABLY DETERIORATED, PERHAPS WITH SOME DISTORTION AND MILD SCRATCHES. THE COVER AND CONTENTS SUFFER FROM FOLDING, SCUFFING OF EDGES, SPINE SPLITS, DISCOLOURATION, ETC.
