FINDERS KEEPERS RECORDS FKR020LP-PR
VERY RARE U.K. PROMO/DEMO VINYL!
NEW & UNPLAYED!
A fantastic opportunity to bid for a very rare promo/demo copy of this this highly sought-after album!
'Finders Kreepers (that's what it says on the obi!) presents Willows Songs. The traditional British Folk songs that inspired the seminal
soundtrack to The Wicker Man. 12 vintage recordings of haunting, rowdy and risqué British balladry. Including 'Cornrigs',
'Gently Johnny, My Jingalo' and unreleased instrumental version of 'Willows Song' taken from the original soundtrack reels. FKR020LP-PR'
(Taken from the obi strip.)
Sleeve: Heavy brown card with pasted-on card period illustration of a girl holding a hare/rabbit, plus track listing and 'horror movie' text from the above title
description. It also has the catalogue number for the standard release i.e. FKR020LP. The rear of the sleeve and spine are both free of text and the whole
package is intact and unmarked, with no tears, repairs, writing, wear, bumps, etc. There is a very small (approx. 10mm), minor vertical ripple in the surface
at the bottom-righthand corner, as viewed from the front. This looks to be a manufacturing fault and is mentioned for accuracy. The sleeve is in superb,
unmarked and undamaged condition and protected by a thin polybag!
Insert: Brown album-sized thick paper/thin card, with track listing and credits, plus photo of girls round a Maypole on one side, and seven further
Maypole images on the other. Again, in superb, unmarked and undamaged condition!
Inner Sleeve: Plain white, slightly shaped, die-cut paper. Unmarked and undamaged! In pristine condition!
Vinyl: Clean, shiny, unmarked and UNPLAYED! As it left the pressing plant! Immaculate!

This is just one item from my own extensive and eclectic personal collection of music and related bits and pieces which I will be listing over the next few months, or so.
I have been collecting for more than 30 years, so check back regularly to see what other gems I may have unearthed - they won't be listed in any particular order! My
recent absence from eBay has been because of work commitments but, as they seem to have dried up, I will be spending more time disposing of my collection!
I am not a dealer, so won't use traditional grading terms but, instead, will describe each item as carefully and honestly as I can with text and photos. Bidders are then free
to form their own opinions. Any apparent marks showing in the photos are reflections or dust, etc., unless otherwise specifically identified. If in doubt, please contact me
with any queries before bidding and I will get back to you promptly with an answer. I will also keep you informed throughout the whole ebay process.
All vinyl will be packaged in sturdy cardboard mailers with at least one stiffener and will be despatched within 2 working days of payment being received. PayPal is preferred,
but please contact me before bidding to discuss alternative, acceptable methods. Postage rates: UK - 2nd Class £3.10, Europe/R.O.T.W - AirMail Small Packet £7.00/£11.50.
Please note that I do not combine postage. All items are packaged and sent individually, so as to minimise damage and/or loss.
Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding!
