Description

ROY HARPER - THE SOPHISTICATED BEGGAR

STRIKE LABEL 1967 RARE FIRST UK PRESSING WITH DAWSON ROSSITER FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE.

JHL 105  

 

Released in 1967. I am offering here this impossibly rare first issue on the STRIKE label of the stunning debut album from Manchester folk legend ROY HARPER titled "THE SOPHISTICATED BEGGAR". the album contains some great tracks including FOREVER and MR STATION MASTER.

The album comes complete with its original Dawson Rossiter printed fully laminated single sleeve which is whiter than most but has some creasing to the top right corner and has a repaired tear. still a very presentable example of this Strike label 1967 original.

I have just played this album through for these listing purposes and I am pleased to say that it plays very well with rich audio but there is a solitary stick during the first track BLACKPOOL which if played with a light needle set at 0.4 plays through OK. I also noticed some mild distortion during the same track which is common with this album.

 

 IF YOU ARE A FUSSY COLLECTOR THIS WILL NOT BE FOR YOU

The VINYL, The Vinyl visually shows light scratches none can be felt overall clean, Audibly it plays through well with rich audio but has a stick and some distortion during Blackpool but as I have stated if played with a very light needle plays through, otherwise a very enjoyable listen. 

The SLEEVE, The fully laminated single sleeve is in solid condition whiter than most and the spine is fully legible with no stickers or unwanted writing etc but shows creasing to the top right corner along with a repaired tear.  

The LABELS, The textured STRIKE labels are very clean. Needless to say they are free from unwanted writing or stickers etc.

The INNER, The generic inner is clean and free from unwanted writing, stickers or splits etc.

 

I try to be accurate in my grading as I know what its like to buy miss graded items but won't insult you by writing song lyrics etc. If you feel I have not described this correctly I am happy to refund you providing I receive the item back in the same condition as it leaves me, But I can only refund one lot of postage,
