A GREAT FIND FAIRPORTS LIEGE AND LIEF MY FAVOURITE WITH THE GREAT SANDY DENNY VOCALS, THIS IS A VERY FIRST PRESSING OF THIS ALBUM WITH THE EARLY MATRIXES AND TEXTURED PINK LABELS. I PLAYED BOTH SIDES AND THE ALBUM SOUNDED GREAT THESE EARLY PINK ISLANDS ARE PRONE TO NOT SOUNDING GOOD DUE TO THE VINYL QUALITY BUT THIS ONE PLAYS THROUGH WELL THE VINYL HAS LOVELY SHINE I CAN ONLY SEE LIGHT REMOVAL THIS IS USUAL FOR A ALBUM NEARLY 50 YEARS OLD. THE LP SITS FLAT ON MY TURNTABLE. THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS SOLID AND WAS MADE BY EJ DAY ENSURING THIS IS THE CORRECT SLEEVE LOOK AT PICTURES. DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS RARITY THIS ALBUMIS VALUED AT £150 IN RECORD COLLECTOR. FOREST 82 MUSIC ALWAYS ENSURE THAT YOUR ALBUMS ARRIVE SAFELY SO ONLY QUALITY MAILERS AND STIFFENERS ARE USED.
