    La Grande Cornouaillaise was recorded by Brenda for the French market in 1980, as her career on the continent was going stellar. It was produced by Burlington Records in Hitchin in Hertfordshire, number BURL007, and is a 33rpm LP. The guitarist was Dave Penhale - still playing and living (and painting!) in Cornwall.
     
    The lyrics are printed on the back of the cover, in full, and are in English/Cornish and French, as appropriate.
     
    The condition of these is good, believed unused, with slight fading on the cover edges and the odd light corner crease, but no damage.

    Rarity: Uncommon, as with most Burlington albums.
    SKU: LGC1

      As all the albums I am offering for sale are vintage, these are not factory new copies... although we believe most are unlikely to have been used. We do check for any obvious signs of damage, but the LPs are not individually photographed, and you may find light signs of cosmetic wear etc.

      If you just want to return the item as you are unhappy with minor wear to the sleeve etc, we will refund on receipt of the returned item, but the postage both ways must be at your own expense. 

      If however, you are unhappy with your purchase as you have found unacceptable damage which mars your listening pleasure, we will refund you in full, including return postage, once we have received the item back and had a chance to examine it.
