FULL HOUSE

I think I have a rare copy of this album. It's a pre-release copy, white middle, folding sleeve with no info in middle. It has the Poor Will track on it, which I think was not included on the original actual release. I  went into my record shop to buy the proper copy, and was offered this one.

Sadly for me I have written in the white middle, the track list, album name, and worst of all, my name. Well I was young and foolish, and never thought that I would still have the record nearly 40 years later. I just bought it to listen to, like we did then. Does anyone know if this album, despite my defacing of the middle, might be worth anything? I add that I am NOT looking to sell it.

The name dropping bit comes from me asking the question on the Fairport site, thinking I would get through to a board very much like I am on now. Dave Pegg and Simon Nicol replied, recommending I joined up and ask you guys. So, here I am

In my opinion, no, not very much... Just love it and listen to it and remember to tell people never to write on records, books or similar such items in future  Smiley

This amuses me, I have a friend who was sold "the only vinyl copy of this in existence", or maybe not!

Strictly speaking, mine isn't a proper copy...

The simple truth is, the only way to find out what it's worth is to stick it on eBay and find out.....I realise that's not a very helpful answer, but it is the truth!

If someone can guide me through the process, then yes. I've never posted a picture online before.

Right, I've had a look at the replies page, and I will have a go. It will be tomorrow before I can get it sorted thought. The LP is up in the loft, still packed away from when we moved here 4 years ago.

I don't know about value - but that's a very cool item to have.  And even more special to have had it all those years when Poor Will was so hard to find....

Seeing as you aren't planning on selling it anyway, i may as well say I like inscriptions in books and so on. They give an object a bit of history. I don't write in my own books but I really like it when people give me books and they've written "to Smiths, love So-and-so" etc.

The only time I get annoyed is when you buy a second-hand book that's been an academic set text and some numpty's underlined  - or worse, highlighted - everything until half-way through chapter 1 and written daft obvious glosses in the margin. But you can't do that with a record anyway.

Love Smiths

Sorry if you're still waiting for my photos of Full House. I have yet to venture up into the grenier for a rummage round. I know roughly where it is, but I have had other things taking priority. My wife was in a car accident in October, and is still having hospital tests to find out why she blacked out at the wheel. I hope to get sorted with the pix tomorrow, but even if it's another few days, I will do it...
