RUNRIG, RECOVERY, UK RIDGE LP, 1981, SCOTTISH GAELIC FOLK ROCK, EXCELLENT VINYL Runrig – Recovery (12” LP)

Runrig were a six-piece folk rock band from Scotland. The group was founded in 1973, and they have released 14 studio albums. Musically, Runrig is rock orientated. The band’s lyrics, however, tend to be folk orientated. Typically their songs will mention locations or events that are unique to Scotland. The history and politics of Scotland (as well as its position within the United Kingdom) are also discussed in many songs. Another recurring theme involves an awareness of the natural world, along with many references to agriculture and land conservation. In keeping with their cultural roots they sings about one-quarter of their songs in Scottish Gaelic, a native language of Scotland, still spoken mostly in the north west.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM:
MINT: I very rarely use the mint grade. Only records that are still sealed or records that even under the strongest of lights are completely unmarked. Also covers that are unmarked/uncreased in any way and still look brand new.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is no lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler. Payment strictly by PayPal only. Postal discounts available for multiple purchases - Please email for details.  _gsrx_vers_859 (GS 7.0.21 (859))
