STEELEYE SPAN

HARK ! THE VILLAGE WAIT

THEIR FIRST AND DEBUT ALBUM, AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!!          

THIS IS THE BRILLIANT VERY EARLY, STEELEYE SPAN, AND THEIR FIRST ALBUM, RELEASED IN JUNE 1970. FORMED IN LONDON IN 1969, BY FAIRPORT CONVENTION, BASS PLAYER, ASHLEY HUTHINGS, THIS IS A MUST HAVE IF YOU LOVE YOUR FOLK ROCK. THE VOCAL HARMONIES WITH, MADDY PRIOR AND GAY WOODS, JUST GIVE IT A BIT EXTRA, AS IF THE ALBUM NEEDS ANYTHING ELSE. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL ALBUM, WITH BEAUTIFUL TRACKS AND HARMONIES, AND CERTAINLY WILL BE A VERY SAD LOSS FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION. 

DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!  

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1970 UK  PRESS ::  ZGBS 0358-1E  AIS  ::  ZGBS 0539-1E  AIR .

ON THE ORANGE RCA VICTOR LABEL  ::  SF 8113 .

COVER :: ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH JUST A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS, AND SOME VERY LIGHT SHELF WEAR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, WITH THE OPENING EDGE STILL SHARP. THE BACK HAS A BIT OF RING WEAR, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE A VERY STRONG  :: VG+ .

VINYL :: PLAYS SUPERB, WITH NO STICKS, JUMPS, SKIPS, STATIC, CRACKLE, TICKS OR CLICKS !!!!

ALL I HEARD WAS JUST ONE SINGLE FAINT POP AT THE END OF TRACK 3 ON SIDE 1, AND THAT'S ALL, SO AMAZING CRYSTAL CLEAR AUDIO !!!!

VISUALLY, AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FINE, AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, ON SIDE 1, THERE ARE SOME SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND ARE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

ON SIDE 2 JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A SMALL COSMETIC BRUSH LOOKING MARK, AND A COUPLE OF MORE NOTICEABLE TINY COSMETIC MARKS, AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTO.

IT DOES SOUND BAD BUT HONESTLY WHEN THE VINYL IS PLAYING YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW THEY WERE THERE AS THERE IS AS MENTIONED JUST ONE SINGL FAINT POP, SO THEY JUST HAVE VISUAL EFFECT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, AND NO WAY AN AUDIO EFFECT !!!! SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  ::   EX+/NEAR MINT .

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN  :: EX .

INNER :: NO SPLITS OR WRITING, BUT I THINK THERE WAS A LYRIC INNER, BUT SORRY TO SAY, I CAN NOT FIND IT ANYWHERE !!!! THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE INNER THAT IS ALWAYS BEEN WITH THE VINYL  :: EX- .

WHAT A CLASSIC BRITISH FOLK ROCK ALBUM, HIGHLY RECOMMENEDED, AND IT PLAYS LIKE A DREAM, AND CERTAINLY WILL NOT DISAPPOINT !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME, ROSE.

DUE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CRAZY WORLD, I AM SORRY ALL PACKAGES WILL BE SENT ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL TRACKED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, WHICH IS SAFEST AND BEST WAY, SO WE CAN TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, THANK YOU !!!! 

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU ! 

TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE !!!!
