AUTOGRAPHED by BOTH! ONLY AUTOGRAPHED (by BOTH) 45 for sale in the WORLD as of my listing and as far as I can see from my research.

One of the TOP IRISH Singing Team ever becoming husband and wife in 1972. More info below.  The vinyl shines as if freshly pressed with only a minimal number of light wispy marks, probably paper scuffs - I'd grade it VG+ or around there as it looks so fresh and shiny. The labels are SHARP & CLEAN. The cover retains the vivid green of Ireland with wear in the usual places of the corners and edge, creases (if any ring wear it is light) but no tears or rips to speak of, and no seam splits. The AUTOGRAPHS are in RED. A RARE piece from Ireland's BEST - a married couple whose passion doubled in chemistry during performance.
