Description
Welcome... to the auction of the fabulous album: "TONTON MACOUTE" Signed inside by Paul French. it has been hard to make the decision to sell this record... mainly for 3 reasons.
1 - it is the only vinyl copy I possess...
2 - It was given to me by Paul French!!
(yep - Paul French, the vocalist and pianist from Tonton Macoute (as well as Voyager and more!!)
3 - The very same Paul French is my father!!!
I have decided to sell this record and put the funds raised towards a day out with my dad!
This album is the original 1971 U.K. first issue stereo pressing released on the RCA Neon label.
Its now a very rare piece of vinyl and those of you looking at this probably know all about it already!!
I certainly love this record.
However, I think taking my dad out for a meal and a laugh will give the both of us much more joy than me holding onto it! I hope the winning bidder enjoys the fact that they will have brought a smile to one of the main collaborators that made Tonton Macoute the great band they were. HAPPY BIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PS - For those interested, here is a link for PAUL FRENCH'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL:

VINYL CONDITION
I am not a 'qualified' vinyl appraiser, but I will give my honest opinion here:
Both sides have a smattering of surface hairlines and their fair share of scuffs.
I have just listened through the entire album just now and there are unfortunately background noises, pops and some clicks.
However, there are no major scratches and it is on the whole a delightful listening experience with hardly any repeating clicks and not one jump.
PS - Vinyl might benefit from a simple hot soapy clean + rinse (I didn't want to risk doing this so I gave it a miss!)
SLEEVE CONDITION
Gatefold sleeve is lovely but a bit tatty (especially the spine as per photos - wear is only external, does not go through to the spines inner).
Some mild creasing on both covers and ring wear but apart from all that and some edging wear, the inner picture is in great shape and the glue is all intact.
Comes with a white inner paper sleeve (not the original).
LABEL CONDITION
Picture label is in great condition. Writing label has some rippling (as per photos) but is great apart from that.
