Martin Carthy's debut isn't quite the self-assured masterpiece that slightly older British folk guitarists were knocking out around then--think of Bert Jansch, John Renbourn and Davy Graham--but it shows exactly why Carthy went on to become, through his work with Steeleye Span, the Watersons, and seemingly dozens of other folkies, possibly the single most influential figure in British folk in the last half of the 20th Century. Accompanied only by fiddler Dave Swarbrick--who would get equal billing on Carthy's next few records--Carthy reels off a program of traditional ballads and tunes, plus one Ewan MacColl cover for form's sake. It's slightly disconcerting to hear just how young Carthy sounds on this album. At barely 24, he didn't have the weathered, craggy tone he'd soon cultivate, but MARTIN CARTHY is a debut that delivers on its enormous promise.

I add new listings most days ....... Please take a look

I usually start auctions at a low price to generate interest in bidding

All items are graded Audio / Visually , and played on a high grade system

Please feel able to bid with confidence , as a collector myself I understand the requirements in the gradings of discs and sleeves , and how important it is to recieve items in the condition as advertised

I grade items ( using the UK Record Collector Grading System) beneath a light , to be sure of condition

I do not believe it is necessary to use the eBay buzzwords such as STUNNING !! RARE !! AWESOME !! , padded out with grossly long winded 'descriptions' ..... Many of the 'experts' who use this method of selling also add technical information , which is totally unfounded and does not correspond with the actual facts , and would be laughable but for the fact it is totally misleading. I take time and care to graded items correctly , and only list quality records , with concise , accurate grading descriptions

I have been a lifelong music fan , my first concert visit was in 1957 (Birmingham Town Hall Skiffle Contest !) and have bought records of all the great music since 1959 , and had the privelege of seeing most of the great artists 'live' ( I saw The Beatles twice and Segovia !)

I began selling professionally in 1976 , and have a wide knowledge of the items I sell (and always learning !) having bought copies of my own at time of issue , always being interested in the sleeve , label and disc variations. If you have any queries , I will do my best to answer correctly

Please check my feedback ratings , you will see that a large amount are from repeat buyers ( many thanks !) .... and in the event of genuine complaints will remedy the situation as soon as possible
