	Cruel Sister Used - LP - RS 6430 1970 Steamboat Label Gatefold Original, Santa Maria Press. Cover VG+, Tiny Strain Mark Bottom Left Corner, Few Light Pushes On Top Seam And LP Plays Closer To VG, Slightly More Surface Noise Keeping It Down From A Strong VG+. "Stereo" Printed On Bottom Of Labels. 1A/1B Stampers. “Released In 1970, This Was The Fourth Album From The British Folk-Rock Group Pentangle And May Qualify As Their Swan Song. With Only Five Songs, Jacqui McShee, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Terry Cox, And Danny Thompson Create A Dense, Layered Sound That Is Woven Within The Fabric Of Each Song Like A Tapestry. Although Known For Their Eclectic Approach And Love Of Jazz, Here The Group Concentrates On Traditional Material Like "A Maid That's Deep In Love" And The 18-Minute "Jack Orion." A Pentangle Fan Will Immediately Note That John Renbourn Is Playing An Electric Guitar On "A Maid That's Deep In Love." This Departure From Purely Acoustic Doesn't Create A Bigger Fairport Convention Or Steeleye Span Sound But Is Imbedded Quietly Into The Song. What Really Sets Both This Song And "When I Was In My Prime" Apart Is McShee's Clear, Vibrant Vocals. On "When I Was In My Prime," She Sings Unaccompanied, Proving That Her Talent Runs As Deep As The Better-Known Jansch And Renbourn. The Seven-Minute Title Cut Also Features McShee Singing An Absolutely Lovely Ballad With Darker Undertones. Renbourn Sings The Enjoyable Though Straightforward "Lord Franklin." The Crowning Jewel Of This Masterpiece Is The Epic "Jack Orion," Though One Has Difficulty Imagining What Possessed Pentangle To Record A Folk Song That Took Up An Entire Side Of An Album. Jansch Shares Vocals With McShee On This Multiple Part Song, And Generous Time Is Left For Renbourn To Turn In A Bluesy, Then Jazzy, Electric Solo. Cruel Sister Shows Pentangle At Their Artistic Height, Combining All Of Their Skill And Inspiration To Create A Vital And Enduring Album.” Ronnie D. Lankford, AMG. more

A Fantastic Copy. “Pentangle Were Always Great At Creating Musical Fusions, And On This Album, They Once Again Came Through. The Opening Song, "Wedding Dress," Is A Fabulous Meeting Of Celtic, Country, And, Believe It Or Not, Funk. It's One Of The Few Songs Of Theirs That Actually Rocks. The Rest Of The Record Is Classic Pentangle, With Bert Jansch's And John Renbourn's Acoustic Guitars Intermingling So Well That It Would Make Even Neil Young And Stephen Stills A Little Envious. Jacqui Mcshee, As Usual, Has Some Exquisite Vocal Moments, Namely The Previously Mentioned "Wedding Dress" And An Excellent Reading Of "Will The Circle Be Unbroken." This Track Shows How The Group Was Further Exploring New Musical Ground, This Time With Traditional American Folk/Gospel. The Group's Rhythm Section Of Danny Thompson (Upright Bass/Cello) And Terry Cox (Percussion) -- Easily One Of The Most Inventive On The Planet -- Shines On Every Cut, Creating Solid Ground For Renbourn, Mcshee, And Jansch To Do Their High-Wire Act On Vocals And Guitar. One Of Their Finest All-Around Albums.” Matthew Greenwald, All Music Guide. more

	Solomon's Seal Used - LP - MS 2100 1972 US White Label Promo With Promo Housed In A Textured Jacket With Fold Out Insert. Cover VG+/++, Light Fade And Some Light Top Seam Compression. "The Sixth And Final Album By Pentangle's Original Incarnation Was, Like The Preceding Reflection, A Disappointment, If Only In Relation To The High Standards Set By The Group's First Batch Of LP's. As On Reflection, There's An Expansion Into Some Wider Use Of Electric Guitars, Sometimes Mildly Distorted. There's A Narrower Scope Of Styles Than On Reflection, Though Not To The Band's Detriment, As The Bandmembers Concentrate On The Folk-jazz-blues Blends That Were Their Greatest Strengths, Rather Than Venturing Into Some Different Styles At Which They Weren't As Capable. Ultimately, There's Nothing Seriously Wrong With The Record, Other Than A Certain Complacency And Lack Of The Fiery Inspiration And Risk-taking That Had Fueled Their Greatest Previous Heights. Divided Between Group Originals And Traditional Folk Songs Like "Sally Free And Easy" And "Willy O'winsbury," None Of The Individual Tracks Would Rate Among Their Best. Among The Better Ones, Though, Are "The Cherry Tree Carol," With McShee's Habitual Haunted Vocals, "The Snows," With Its Dashes Of Sitar Textures, And "No Love Is Sorrow," With Its Close Male-female Harmonies."

	Sweet Child Colored Vinyl - RGM-0738 Sealed 2018 2LP Limited Edition Sky Blue Vinyl Gatefold Reissue. Pentangle Is One Of Those Bands That, After You Hear Them For The First Time, You Have To Turn Your Friends On To Their Sound. And What A Unique Sound It Is, Too; The Interlocking Interplay Of Guitar Masters Bert Jansch And John Renbourn, The Piercingly Beautiful Vocals Of Jacqui Mcshee, And The Sublimely Agile Shuffle Of Bassist Danny Thompson And Percussionist Terry Cox Create A Style That Seamlessly Straddles Jazz, Traditional British Folk, Rock, Blues, And Even Classical. And, Perhaps Most Importantly, It Swings! Sweet Child, Their Second Album, Is Probably Their Finest Hour (and A Half); The First Disc Of This Double-Lp Captures The Quintet Live At Royal Festival Hall On June 29, 1968, While Disc Two Brings Them Into Ibc Studios, All Under The Magisterial Eye Of Legendary Producer Shel Talmy. You’ll Hear Everything From Mingus Covers (of “Haitian Fight Song” And “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat”) To Trad Folk (“No More My Lord;” “Bruton Town”) To Pentangle Originals (“In Time;” “In Your Mind,” “A Woman Like You,” And The Title Tune) Rendered In Their Trademark Lyrical Fashion. more

	The Pentangle Used Import - TRA 162 Rare 1968 UK Laminated Jacket First Label (Purple And White). VG+ Copy, Some Surface Rash. The Laminated Jacket Is In Vibrant VG++/Excellent Condition, With Some Gentle Bubbling/Lift At Spine Edge And Small Corner Crease. This Also Has A Label Variant With No "A Shel Talmy Production" Below The Band's Name. One Of The Finest British Albums From This Genre And Era. A Pricey LP In Pristine Condition! "There's Something Exciting About The First Album Of A Band That Goes On To Greatness, And The Pentangle, By The Group Of The Same Name, Is No Different. Here, The Listener Witnesses The First Studio Work Of A Band Struggling To Get Their Essence Down On Vinyl. Of Course Bert Jansch And John Renbourn's Reputations As Guitarists Preceded The Band, But The Addition Of Bassist Danny Thompson And Drummer Terry Cox Gave The Band An Acoustic Rhythm Section Like No Other Folk-rock Group. Singer Jacqui Mcshee Became The Last Piece Of This Intricate English Puzzle, Delivering High, Expressive Vocals That Contrasted And Merged So Well With Jansch's Deeper Pipes. The Group Doesn't Hold Back On Their First Outing. On "Hear My Call" Mcshee Offers A Dreamy Vocal, Floating High Above The Bluesy Guitars. The Soaring Vocal And Firmly Grounded Rhythm Highlight One Another, Creating A Carefully Layered Sound That Is Present In All Of Pentangle's Best Music. This Dynamic Works Equally Well In "Pentangling," With Mcshee And Jansch's Voices Combining Light And Dark Shadows To Concoct A Strangely Atmospheric Harmony. The Rocking And Rollicking "Way Behind The Sun" Is Another Standout, And The Instrumentals "Bells" And "Waltz" Are Complex And Lively. The Album's Spacious Arrangements Take Full Advantage Of Stereo, Mixing Instruments To Different Tracks So That The Listener, For Instance, Can Always Hear Jansch's Guitar On One Side And Renbourn's On The Other. This Group, It Seems, Had It All. Equally Comfortable With Traditional Songs, Instrumentals, And Originals, They Made Few Missteps On Their Early Albums. Like Fairport Convention And The Incredible String Band, Pentangle Specialized In Updating British Isles' Folk Music. The Pentangle, Re-released On Cd In 2001 With Seven Bonus Tracks, Is A Dazzling Debut And A Must-have For Fans Of English Folk-rock." AMG - Ronnie D. Lankford Jr. more
