FAIRPORT CONVENTION
"UNHALFBRICKING"
Here we have a simply amazing copy of Fairport Convention's ''Unhalfbricking'' which really shouldn't exist in this condition!
Unhalfbricking is the third album by British folk band Fairport Convention released in 1969. It is seen as a transitional album in their history and marked a further musical move away from American influences towards more traditional English folk songs that had begun on their previous album, 'What We Did On Our Holidays' and arguably reached its peak on the follow-up, 'Liege & Lief' released later the same year.
On 11 May, 1969 two months before the album was released, drummer Martin Lamble and guitarist Richard Thompson's girlfriend, were killed in a car crash as the band were returning from a concert in Birmingham.
The title arose from a word-game played by the band while travelling to and from gigs. The object of the game, ''Ghosts'', was to "avoid completing a real word" and "Unhalfbricking" was Sandy Denny's creation.

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BIDDING!
From my own personal collection assembled over 25+ years with constant upgrading whenever available so this is a unique opportunity to acquire a pristine example of a RARE and COLLECTIBLE LP that has been lovingly cared for.
All LP covers were stored in the highest quality plastic sleeves and the records stored in separate archival white inners out of the cover to prevent damage to the original sleeves and ring wear of the record through to the original cover.
Lots of rarities will be listed over the coming weeks and you will be hard pressed to improve on these as I was relentless in the pursuit of the finest examples at whatever cost!!!!!
THIS IS A REAL ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY. ONCE THEY'RE GONE, THEY'RE GONE!!
