Bill Fay

Comes from 'UK' vinyl LP

Bill Fay

BILL FAY Bill Fay (Rare 1970 UK 13-track stereo vinyl LP, a holy grail of Folk Rock, the debut of the troubled troubadour who only went on to record one more album, until retiring from the music industry. This album was to languish in obscurity until a revival of his work some forty years later lead to a 2005 re-release. Front laminated picture sleeve featuring a haunting image of Bill at Hyde Park, with mono/stereo hole on the reverse & blue-for-stereo inner. This is the only copywe have ever seen of this elusive folk album. See 'more info' for further details...)

Tracklisting & More Information

CONDITION

This is a one previous owner copy, which appears to have been in cold storage for over thirty years as part of a large collection.

The sleeve is graded as VG+/EX- with a little laminate creasing & lift to the corner. There is some creasing to the corners and a little scuffing along the bottom edge. The front is still clean and presents a wonderful melancholic image. The reverse shows light discolouration, mainly along the top and bottom with the text legible & the photograph clear. There is a small catalogue number written on the inside of the sleeve visible throught the mono/stereo hole. The spine has a few light creases with all the text legible. The sleeve is free from seam splits and tears.


The discgrades as VG+/EX- and has been professionally cleaned on a Matrix machine & play tested. The sound is rich & warm and really fills the room giving a nice sense of space. There is just a little surface noise at the start of each run-in groove, which due to the acoustic nature of parts of the album can be detected more in some passages than others, although is never obtrusive enough to deter the listener and is free from loud pops or skips. The vinyl has light paperscuffing, which is probably due to the fact it was stored outside its original inner, causing fine dust particles to come into contact with the surface; there is little evidence of play related hairlines etc. The label displays a few light spindle marks, indicating that little actual play has taken place over its lifetime.

While not mint, this is a great copy which really performs well, and given that we've never had one before, a fleeting gem!
