This is my last advertisement for Bridget's releases on Dandelion Records (created by DJ John Peel) ... the trilogy is now complete and waiting for a new home!
It has been so long since I have heard Bridget and she still sounds great even to this day .... if you haven't heard her before, she is a "must experience" if 70's folk is your thing, similar "vein" to Melanie - beautiful sweet voice performing her songs with meaning and passion! For me, this album is very much in the ethereal vein, just beautiful to listen to, chill out and contemplate the lyrics

BRIDGET ST-JOHN - Songs For The Gentle Man
Dandelion Records
Cat# DAN 8007
1969
UK release
Stiple/textured heavy card gatefold cover is in good condition, no tears, no seam splits, no personal writing EXCEPT on the inside of the gatefold (right hand panel top) a previous writing has been obscured with "White Out". The stiple/textured card is used both outside and inside and is in very good condition although I can see some light record storage removal/insertion created rub marks (NOT mildew) on the front cover towards the spine. The spine is sound and secure. Only light edge wear from normal handling.
There are NO smells to the cardboard!
Record label Side A (the coloured side) has a visible name hand-written in the Purple area, it is quite visible if held in certain lighting. I have made no attempt to remove this writing - such a beautiful label should be left alone otherwise you could end up with a damaged label!
New inner plastic liner sleeve - original sleeve was paper which had degraded considerably after 50+ years! I detest paper sleeves anyway ...
Vinyl is in very good condition, I visually inspected the vinyl under a bright White halogen light source, I can see just a couple of VERY LIGHT short scratches on either side - visually this is a great looker!.
Just looking at the vinyl isn't a very good method to judge the condition of the vinyl, so let's have a listen ... I have played the ENTIRE release, and there are NO issues with surface noise nor clicks/pops.
After all these years it was great to hear Bridget performing her music once more and read all the lyrics printed on the inside of the gatefold but Oh dear! so hard to read due to the graphic design!
