JACKIE LEVEN FORBIDDEN SONGS OF THE DYING WEST DOUBLE VINYL UK VG+ 1995 COOK 090

	£		56
	$		74

A fabulous double album by Jackie Leven, on Cooking Vinyl, from 1995. Includes the lyric insert.
It is a fabulous sounding album, very loathed to let it go, but I have the CD now. 
The vinyl is excellent, and has been played by myself. 
The sleeve is a bit bent. I am just pointing it out, do not expect a perfectly flat cover. It has no tears or physical damage.
"Jackie Leven (18 June 1950 – 14 November 2011) was a Scottish songwriter and folk musician. After starting his career as a folk musician in the late 1960s, he first found success with new wave band Doll by Doll. He later recorded as a solo artist, releasing more than twenty albums under his own name or under the pseudonym Sir Vincent Lone."
In 1994, Leven's solo career restarted with the release of the mini-album Songs from the Argyll Cycle and the full-length album The Mystery of Love is Greater than the Mystery of Death, now signed to Cooking Vinyl and recording in the folk rock style. After that he released fifteen albums, including a joint album with crime writer Ian Rankin, Jackie Leven Said, with multi-instrumentalist Michael Cosgrave. In addition to his broader commercial releases, he released a number of limited edition, fanclub-only live albums through the Haunted Valley fanzine and website."
