Fairport Convention "Liege & Lief" 1970 - signed by Richard Thompson!

Description

Fairport Convention
"Liege & Lief" 12" LP 1970
SIGNED BY RICHARD THOMPSON
A&M Records SP 4257
Disc has some scratches and scuffs.  VG overall.    Cover has seen some shelf and age wear.  Good+.
Please note that while this album cover is signed by Richard Thompson (as evidenced by his very distinctive signature and photograph), I can not go to the expense of having it authenticated, so I am selling this for the value of the record only.  The autograph on the record cover should be considered incidental and should also be factored in when judging the condition of the cover.  Please see photographs so you can judge for yourself.
This is in the original gatefold cover, which is pictured, open.  The disc itself was in an unaffiliated "London/Parrot/Deram" records sleeve.  I am including that but have moved the disc over to a clear poly sleeve for protection.
This is a great find and will look amazing as part of your collection!
