Boo, and no hiss

Surprise rarity of the day, the aptly titled Boo by Juliet Lawson. This incredibly rare 1972 LP is a FACTORY SAMPLE stickered issue for review ahead of commercial release, with musical aid from such notables as Iain Blair, Lol Coxhill, plus bassist Bias Boshell and guitarist David Costa [here as producer] from revered British folk-rock group The Trees. Like many one-shot female led folk albums of the era, from Vashti Bunyan to Linda Perhacs, the record died a quiet death at the time, though picked up in later years by collectors who were properly listening. An incredible copy, the textured gatefold lyric picture sleeve is virtually mint and still a perfect off-white with no marks or ringwear of any sort. The vinyl looks unplayed! Recommended listening, and quite simply one of the best condition copies you are ever likely to find.
