A FEW OF THE ITEMS WE WANT...
 | ANNE BRIGGS Anne Briggs (Extremely rare 1971 UK 10-track mono
LP by one of the leading lights of the sixties acoustic/folk boom, along
with Davey Graham, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Wizz Jones, Shelagh
McDonald, Roy Harper, Ralph McTell and others. This was actually her
second album, recorded for Bill Leader's Topic label a mere seven years
after her first, because [as described in the sleeve notes] "Getting
Anne Briggs into a recording studio is like enticing a wild bird into a
cage". Hugely influential, and the provider of Blackwater Side to Bert
Jansch as well as several songs and tunes for her contemporaries that
she acquired on her almost constant travel across England and Ireland.
This copy is a gem of a gem 12T207)
See 'More Info' ...
Tracklisting: A highly influential figure in the English folk music revival, being a source of songs and musical inspiration for others such as A.L. Lloyd, Bert Jansch, Jimmy Page, The Watersons, June Tabor, Sandy Denny, Richard Thompson and Maddy Prior. This is one of the precious few albums she left to history as she never really bothered about the traditional views of 'success' and 'fame', preferring instead to play a constant series of small clubs throughout her career. By all accounts, a determined woman who knew what she wanted from life and 'pop star' was not a part of it.
To those in the know, she has continued to influence to this very day and this is one of the many reasons that her all too few studio recordings are treated like the rare jewels they are.
This copy is a stunner.
Condition:
The sleeve remains a beautiful white with the merest few light creases to the front laminate to show for its forty plus years.
The spine and unlaminated rear text remains clear and as readable as it did in 1971.
The only flaw that can be listed is a common one to affect this design of sleeve from the period. When filed, they often stuck to their neighbours as a result of a bit too liberal application of the adhesive to fit the front laminate during manufacture. This led to a couple of millimeters 'sticky area' just beyond the end of the laminate.
Consequently, there is a small strip of intermittent paper loss about one to two millimeters wide at the edge of the end of the laminate on the back, although this does not go so far as to affect the text.
To get a sleeve this beautiful, this is a small price to pay and, trust me here, you won't let it bother you when you see the rest.
The vinyl is also in matching condition. Pressed on good old solid vinyl that has retained its sheen and, although played, has obviously been well looked after and has no defects or blemishes to speak of.
I can't think of much else to say about the vinyl as it really is beautiful and to all intents and purposes near 'as new'.
Even the poly lined inner remains white !
A wonderful copy of this great and elusive album in spectacular condition.
If there are better copies out there, then good luck finding them.
We've certainly never seen anything like this one in over thirty years of trading.

B6 Sing A Song For You |  | ANNE BRIGGS Nottinghamshire Tales (2009 Russian limited edition
10-track LP pressed on 180gram VIRGIN VINYL, originally
recorded in 1973 but unreleased until the mid 90s. Anne was pregnant
with her second child at the time of these recordings and already living
off the coast of Scotland in the Hebrides Islands, as far from the
London music scene as possible! Not surprisingly, given Briggs' talent,
the album has since become known as a 'lost classic'. Accompanied by
Ragged Robin, a folk rock band assembled by Steve Ashley [with
Richard Byers on mandolin and lead guitar, Brian Diprose on bass, and
John Thompson on drums], these brilliant versions of British folk
standards and original material are delivered with the kind of rare
sincerity and natural vocal ability that slices through time, straight to
the soul; sealed & stickered picture sleeve with 1996 notes from Anne
herself and Steve Ashley)

Tracklisting: "'The Time Has Come’ is an absolute master class on words and guitar twisting into one another - the poetry goes beyond simple observation into deeply personal and profound lore. A timeless document of sweet and haunting melodies. My favorite record of all time." Ryley Walker. //
"I've never written songs, regularly, because I never considered myself a song-writer. I've only ever really considered myself a ballad singer, which is what is most important to me. The stories... the ancient nature of the situations and the human condition. And obviously, it's changed so much over the centuries that those songs have been sung, but it always retains that essence of something that's universal... to humanity, and I've always wanted to touch that. I think I wanted to understand people; I think I wanted to understand myself. It's a way of finding the truth. I felt I belonged to that music.” Anne Briggs //
Offering some of her first original compositions, ‘The Time Has Come’ was a break from tradition in more ways than one for Anne Briggs. Where previous recordings displayed the unaccompanied melodies of her voice, this album - originally released by CBS in 1971 - brings additional instrumentation in the form of guitar and bouzouki. The result is that her vocals are not submerged, but heightened - the plucked strings providing the perfect foil for her crystalline inflection.
‘The Time Has Come’ is a mix of Anne’s own songs alongside some notable covers (Lal Waterson, Steve Ashley, Stan Ellison, Henry McCulloch). All are graced with the quietly self-assured elegance of Anne’s playing, with sounds ranging from the breezy ‘Clea Caught A Rabbit’ to the terrible beauty of ‘Wishing Well’ - each song typifying the bouzouki or guitar style. To say that Anne was an accomplished picker is to do her something of a disservice - the intricacy of her finger-work rivals - and more often than not eclipses - any number of her contemporaries.

13. Fine Horseman (03:03) |  | ANNE BRIGGS The Time Has Come (Very rare 1971 UK
13-track stereo LP, picture sleeve. Finally persuaded into a
recording studio by a major label, this is probably her most
well known album. With sleeve notes provided by Anne
herself, this albumalso includes a rare songwriting
collaboration by Bert Jansch and even mentions the tunings
used on the pieces. For the Anne Briggs fan, this must be
Christmas Time as this album is in wonderful condition. The
sleeve shows only a little lightshelfwear and a little scuffing
to the corners and the vinyl remains a strong Excellent with
very little sign of play. I won't bore you with any more of this,
suffice to say that if you have been looking for decades for a
superior copy of this very rare and very beautiful album,
you've just found it)
