Bards of the Barleycorn

when Granma used to call

Beet Music 1977 (private press)

Signed & Stickered!!!

Acid Folk from Norfolk England

1977 UK Beet Music. BMR 101. EX. Here is musically superb extremely rare original 1977 uk tiny label acid-folk private pressing album, this LP was only pressed in minute numbers and is getting pretty much near impossible to find. This extremely rare album contains some really beautiful sounding delicate acid-folk tracks from norfolk. There are also two spoken word poetry tracks that do not let the overall feel of the album down at all. 

 The pictures are of the album for sale.

Tracklisting:

Side one: Brecklandia, Sweetness, Hot Metal, Poverty Belt, Nostagia

Side two: Growing Older, Childhood, Little William, Call me Bor!, Mother, The Barn, Father William

 

Both sides of the vinyl are VG/VG + , there are just a some very light surface marks/scuffs on each side. With the most visible on track one of side two. Both sides play and sound close to excellent with just some background crackle typical of it's age and the fact that its a very mellow LP so it sounds more than a rock LP would and  i would guess that some of the light crackle is due to the pressing quality or grime that has gathered in the grooves, and could be cleaned. There are no clicks or skips at all. The fully textured labels are in excellent very clean condition with no marks or wear. The thin delicate fully textured single sleeve is in excellent condition, no rips or tears etc but it has a little vinyl ringwear and grubbyness due to its light and textured design, the edges and spine have some wear, but there are no seem splits or rips. The owner has wrote his name in black ink at the top left of the back cover. Considering how thin and delicate this fully textured cover is, i would say it's in really good shape. This record is like none other i have seen listed because it has the original Beet music record shop sticker on the sleeve (see pictures) the shop was in thetford norfolk and pressed the LP themselves! and the record still remains in norfolk having only one owner from new.It is also signed on the front and back by John Crisp and Phil Crisp  in very nice black ink along the lines of the artwork! It has generic white paper inner sleeve. This is a excellent copy of this extremely rare private acid-folk gem that will not disappoint.

Very rare L.P. this one.
