Description
HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO BUY ONE OF THE RAREST FOLK/PSYCH SINGLES, WITH A FULLY SIGNED SLEEVE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
ONLY A HANDFUL OF THESE PRIVATE PRESS COPIES HAVE EVER SURFACED. AS FAR AS I'M AWARE THERE'S NEVER BEEN A SIGNED COPY SOLD BEFORE.
A GENUINE FIRST AND ONLY PRESS
THE SLEEVE IS AMAZING - BARELY ANY DISCOLOURATION AT ALL, AND THE PASTED REAR INFO SHEET IS IN WONDERFUL CONDITION.
ALL OF THE GENUINE SIGNATURES ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND NOT WORN OR FADED.
WE HAD TWO COPIES OF THIS - THE FIRST WAS SOLD VERY QUICKLY LAST YEAR, UNSIGNED. THIS IS THE SIGNED RARER COPY.
FRIENDSHIP LEAGUE
5 x TRACK 33 1/3 RPM EP (OR 'MINI-ALBUM 001' AS THE BAND DESCRIBE IT)
1975 LUGGAGE LABEL 001 (COUNTY RECORDING SERVICE PRIVATE PRESS)
RAILROAD / SUNSHINE
RED CLOUD / TUNESMITH / HIFLY
PRIVATE PRESS 7" FULLY SIGNED ON THE BACK BY JEFF KANE, GRAHAM HOLLINGWORTH AND DAVE LOVELAND.JEFF KANE'S EARLY BAND (GUITARS/VOCALS), WHOSE OWN 7" ON TANGERINE IS ALSO VERY COLLECTABLE. THIS WAS PUT OUT PRIVATELY BY KANE AND FELLOW BAND MEMBERS, THE THICK CARD SLEEVE COMES COMPLETE WITH BITTER RANT ON THE BACK ABOUT 'UNARTISTICALLY APPRECIATIVE IDIOTS' FROM THE RECORD COMPANIES THAT HAVE TURNED THE BAND DOWN!
VINYL
REALLY NICE EX+. THE VINYL LOOKS WONDERFUL, WITH VERY LITTLE STORAGE MARKING AT ALL. PLAYBACK OF THESE LOVELY, QUIET TRACKS IS EXCELLENT. SIDE ONE IS SUPERB WITH VERY LITTLE B/G AT ALL - UNUSUAL FOR A PRIVATE PRESS. SIDE TWO HAS A LITTLE MORE FEINT B/G IN QUIETER PLACES, A LITTLE MORE END OF TRACK TWO AND BEGINNING OF TRACK 3. OVERALL A REALLY NICE PLAYBACK ACTUALLY - THIS VERY RARE COPY HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED MUCH. THE VERY EDGE OF THE DISC IS SLIGHTLY ROUGH IN PLACES - PRIVATE PRESS! A REALLY EXCELLENT COPY OF AN IMPOSSIBLY RARE FOLK/PSYCH CLASSIC.
SLEEVE
FULLY SIGNED SLEEVE IN REALLY NICE SOLID EX+ CONDITION. THE FRONT AND BACK PICTURES HAVE BEEN OBVIOUSLY HAND PASTED TO STANDARD BLANK CARD SLEEVES (PROBABLY BY THE BAND & FRIENDS THEMSELVES!). THEY'VE STOOD THE TEST OF TIME WELL, WITH NO LIFTING AT ALL. HARDLY ANY AGE COLOURING OR WEAR AT ALL - WONDERFUL SLEEVE. SIGNATURES ARE ALL EXCELLENT, CLEAR AND LEGIBLE.

We have been buying and selling rare vinyl for over 30 years. We have a large and eclectic vinyl-only stall at most of the major UK record fairs, including Olympia and Westminster, where our reputation for selling records in superb condition is well known. We specialise in all things Psych & Prog, although you'll find all genres in our ebay listings.
Unlike most shops, we play-grade all of our 7" singles, and at least part of our LP's, including run-ins and outs, track breaks and at least one track. Rarer LP's are carefully play-graded all the way through.
We're very proud of our 100% feedback. If there's any kind of problem with the item, please contact us first to resolve before leaving feedback.
Thanks!
