CHRISTY MOORE PADDY ON THE ROAD
MERCURY CATALOGUE NO: SMCL 20170 1969
THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF PROBABLY THE RAREST MAJOR LABEL IRISH FOLK ALBUM EVER RELEASED.
AS THEY SAY IF YOU ARE READING THIS THEN YOU PROBABLY KNOW THE STORY, BUT BASICALLY 500 COPIES WERE MADE OF THIS ALBUM AND THE MASTER TAPES WERE DESTROYED AFTERWARDS.
CONSEQUENTLY THERE HAVE BEEN NO FURTHER FULL RELEASES SINCE ON ANY FORMAT AND IT WOULD BE A JEWEL IN THE COLLECTION OF ANY SERIOUS FOLK LOVER.
I AM SELLING THIS ALBUM ON BEHALF OF A LOCAL FOLK MUSICIAN WHO WAS BEQUEATHED THIS ALBUM (AND ALL OTHERS) BY HIS FATHER ON PASSING: HE HIMSELF A WELL-RESPECTED FOLK MUSICIAN.
I AM INFORMED BY HIS SON THAT HIS DAD TAPED ALL HIS ALBUMS AFTER PURCHASE AND THEN STORED THEM IN COVERS IN A CABINET, HENCE WHY IT IS IN SUCH GREAT CONDITION.
TALKING OF WHICH:
COVER FIRST: THERE ARE A FEW VERY MINOR SPINE CREASES AND BUMPS TO THE CORNERS, A SMALL AMOUNT OF STICKER RESIDUE TOP FRONT RIGHT & SOME VERY SLIGHT MARKS AT THE OPEN EDGE.
THE ONLY MINUS ON THE COVER IS THAT WRITTEN ON THE INSIDE COVER IS THE NAME OF THE PREVIOUS OWNER & THE WORDS "WORCESTER OCTOBER 1984" (PLEASE SEE PICTURE 10)
BUT DESPITE THIS RELATIVELY MINOR PROBLEM, ON SUCH A CLEAN LAMINATE COVER I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THE COVER: EXCELLENT
ONTO THE VINYL: THIS REALLY IS IN STUNNING CONDITION, THREE OR SO VERY LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS BUT NO SOUNDING MARKS AT ALL. THERE ARE A HANDFUL OF SPINDLE TRACES ON BOTH SIDES BUT THESE ARE MORE NOTICEABLE ON A BLACK LABEL.
I HAVE PLAYED THIS ALBUM AND APART FROM THE OCCASIONAL POP OR CRACKLE THERE IS NO SERIOUS SOUND DETERIORATION AT ALL & CERTAINLY NO STICKING OR JUMPING.
AGAIN I HAVE ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE IN GRADING THE VINYL: EXCELLENT +
BECAUSE I AM SELLING THIS ON BEHALF OF SOMEONE ELSE & THE RARITY OF ALBUM, I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO PUT A RESERVE WHICH I WOULD NOT NORMALLY DO BUT HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.
I AM HAPPY TO SEND THE ALBUM WORLDWIDE AND WHEREVER IT GOES IT WILL GO BY REGISTERED/SIGNED FOR DELIVERY TO COVER THE VALUE.
THE ALBUM IS KEPT IN A NAGAOKA ANTI-STATIC INNER AND THEN A PROTECTIVE OUTER (EX-SLEEVE) AND THIS IS HOW IT WILL BE SENT IN PROFESSIONAL MAILER & PROTECTORS.
IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK
ALL THAT REMAINS IF FOR ME TO WISH YOU GOOD LUCK IN BIDDING ON THIS VERY EXCITING AUCTION
THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST
