BARRY DRANSFIELD 's/t' LP (Spain, Guerssen, Catalogue #Guess 031 / Gupen 012) Brand new/unplayed copy of Spanish Guerssen label LP edition of very rare UK Polydor sub-label Folk Mill LP from 1972 of evocative and outstanding British Folk Music recording solo debut by Barry Dransfield. Fantastic reissue of this highly sought-after album. 'In 1972, Barry Dransfield recorded his debut solo album. Just called Barry Dransfield , the album is a real delight from start to finish. It features an array of traditional songs arranged by Barry, some original ones and some fantastic covers from people like Michael Hurley ('The Werewolf') and David Ackles ('Be My Friend'). Sadly, the album was deleted just after nine months from its initial release, because it was released on Folk Mill, a Polydor sublabel created to enter the folk field, but the Polydor guys realized soon that this was not their business, and deleted their whole catalog immediately (including also the C.O.B. Moyshe McStiff... album). Needless to say, the album has become a true rarity and a collectors item since then. Record Hunter voted it 'the rarest folk album' and the Tapestry Of Delights book describes it as 'along with Vashti Bunyan's Just Another Diamond Day , this debut album, full of enchanting folk, is one of the two most sought after major label folk albums'.''Barry
