ROY HARPER - LP 'SAMPLER' (LIVE) ACETATE RECORDINGS (EMI STUDIOS). Fascinating selection of 2 x single sided 'sampler' acetate LP recordings from Roy Harper. Both recordings contain songs that would later appear on Harper's albums Stormcock (1971) and Lifemask (1973) and these recordings appear to be early live versions of the songs (not the final commercial release). 'Acetate 1' contains the songs 'All Ireland', 'Me + My Woman' and 'South Africa' (handwritten 'side 2' with duration as 19.55 - solid VG condition with some light surface marks, no heavier feelable scratches) with 'Acetate 2' containing the songs 'Highway Blues' and 'Rock 'N' Roll Band' (handwritten 'side 3' with duration as 23.06 - VG condition with some light surface marks and a couple of scuffs that can just about be felt). Beautiful raw recordings that showcase Harper at his creative best.
