FAIRPORT CONVENTION    The Bonny Bunch of Roses
PLAYS WITH BEAUTIFUL EX BRITISH FOLK ROCK AUDIO !!!!
IF YOU LIKE YOUR FOLK ROCK, THEN THIS IS A MUST HAVE !!!!


THIS IS THE WONDERFUL, FAIRPORT CONVENTION AND THEIR 12th ALBUM RELEASED IN JULY 1977. THIS IS ALBUM HAS THE RETURN OF, SIMON NICOL, AFTER FIVE YEARS, TO JOIN, DAVE PEGG, DAVE SWARBRICK, AND BRUCE ROWLAND, SO A CLASIC LINE  UP. THIS PLAYS WITH NO NASTY ISSUES, JUST A COUPLE OF UNINTRUSIVE TICKS, NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AND WILL BE EXPLAINED BELOW, THANK YOU. THIS FOLK GEM COMES FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1977 UK 1ST PRESS  ::  9102 015  1Y//2  M  'BILBO' ::  9102 015  2Y//3  P . 
ON THE VERTIGO SPACESHIP LABEL :: 9102 015 .
COVER :: ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS, GATEFOLD, PRINTED AND MADE BY HOWARDS PRINTERS,AND IN GREAT CONDITION, WITH LOVELY SOLID SPINE AND EDGES WITH NO ISSUES AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP. AS THE COVER IS WHITE THERE IS SOME LIGHT AGEING, BUT INSIDE THE GATEFOLD NOTHING TO REPORT, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE A VERY NICE SOLID  :: EX/EX- .

VINYL :: PLAYS VERY WELL, NO SKIPS, STICKS, JUMPS, STATIC, OR CRACKLE, AND I WILL DO A TRACK BY TRACK AUDIO DESCRIPTION >>>>

SIDE 1, TRACK 1 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 2 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 4 :: HAS TWO FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START, ONE LIGHT TICK IN THE IN THE MIDDLE, AND THREE LIGHT TICKS TOWARDS THE END .

SIDE 2, TRACK 1 :: HAS FIVE FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 2 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 4 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 5 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

VISUALLY, AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS LOVELY, BUT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES. NOW THERE ARE 5 MORE NOTICEABLE THIN SMALL SCUFF LINES ON SIDE 1, AND ANOTHER 4 ON SIDE 2. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY GOT THERE AS THEY ARE ALL ABOUT THE SAME SIZE, AND ONLY RUN ACROSS TRACK 1 AND TRACK 2, AND SOME AT THE START OF TRACK 3. I CAN ASSURE YOU THESE ARE HARMLESS, AND COSMETIC, BUT THEY DO HAVE A VISUAL EFFECT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, AND IF YOU LOOK BACK AT THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION, YOU CAN SEE ONE CAUSES 5 FAINT TICKS ON TRACK 1, ON SIDE 2.

SO WITH JUST A FEW FAINT AND IGHT TICKS AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, AND CERTAINLY NOTHING INTRUSIVE, SO I WILL PLAY IT SAFE, AND GRADE THE AUDIO  :: EX/EX- . 

LABELS   ::  NO ISSUES :: EX+ .

ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER :: NO SPLITS OR WRITING, BUT THERE IS SOME AGEING AROUND THE EDGES, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL :: VG .

THEY JUST DO NOT MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS ANY MORE !!!! BRILLIANT LATE 70's FOLK ROCK ALBUM, AND PLAYS AS DESCRIBED. IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH SOME COSMETICS THEN YOU WILL BE HAPPY WHEN YOU PLAY IT !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME, ROSE.

DUE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CRAZY WORLD, I AM SORRY ALL PACKAGES WILL BE SENT ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL TRACKED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, WHICH IS SAFEST AND BEST WAY, SO WE CAN TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, THANK YOU !!!! 

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !
