This fantastic 3-LP set was issued to raise funds for the Glastonbury Festival. It has never been reissued & has never been officially available on CD. Many of the tracks on this set have yet to be re-released elsewhere in any format.

Glastonbury Fayre was held at Worthy Farm, Pilton, near Shepton Mallet, Somerset, UK from Sunday, June 20, to Thursday June 24, 1971 encompassing Summer Solstice. There was no monetary profit - it was free.

It had been planned by Andrew Kerr (Randolph Churchill's PA for many years) and Arabella Churchill who felt all other festivals at the time were over commercialised. It was paid for by the few who supported the ideal so the entrance was free and took a renaissance tradition of music, dance, poetry, theatre, lights and spontaneous entertainment. It was in this year that the first "pyramid" stage was constructed out of scaffolding and expanded metal covered with plastic sheeting, built on a site above the Glastonbury-Stonehenge ley line.

Pyramids - Well, you probably know about them.

Geodesic Domes were the brainchild of R. Buckminster Fuller & are a subject in themselves!

***

In 1972, the organizers of the Glastonbury Fayre released an amazingly lavish, triple album set to raise funds for the Fair (or “Fayre”). Only 5,000 copies were pressed up, and although bootlegged version have appeared over the years, the rare originals invariably traded for sizeable sums. Rarity begot misconceptions, not least being that the set was recorded live at Glastonbury itself. Some of it was indeed, including Mighty Baby, both Pink Fairies tracks, the Edgar Broughton Band and Daevid Allen and Gong. Others were indeed recorded live -- like the Grateful Dead's side-long "Dark Star...Bury" extravaganza, and the original, unmixed version of Hawkwind's "Silver Machine" (barely recognizable here as the hit that would soon devour the planet) -- but on other stages: the Dead were captured at Wembley Stadium earlier that year, and Hawkwind at the Roundhouse. Marc Bolan and Pete Townshend handed over more personal offerings, a song each recorded at their respective homes, while other artists delivered unreleased studio recordings. All told, it was a stunning set, and priced at a snip under four pounds, an astounding bargain.

·       CONDITION:

·       THE RECORDS

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs - are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible, and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new. (NOTE: A FEW MINOR SCUFFS ON THE BRINSLEY SCHWARZ SIDE DO NOT AFFECT OVERALL GRADE AND ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE AUDIBLE)

(b)          The album comes with three OUT OF SIX original extras

(c)           The records are pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER (the large, foldable, 6-part poster doubles as a cover when folded)

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD+++.

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        Visible wrinkling and minor shelf wear noted along the foldings of the sleeve/poster

-         Cover has JUST A HINT of ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 1.

-         Cover shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging.

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER
