$15.99

lost songs, dreams and folkedelica from the vaults of Village Thing, 1970-74 - Subtitled ‘the alternative folk label’, Village Thing Records released two dozen albums and a few singles between 1970 and 1974.

This 20-track compilation to mark the label’s 40th anniversary is superbly remastered and comes in an environmentally friendly pack full of lots of old photos and detailed notes.

Please note!
Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
