Jeanette Sharpham - I Have Joy (Extremely rare 1975? Australian Private Xian Folk LP on Gems of Joy)

Jeanette Sharpham (born Peters) : lead vocals, guitar, tambourine

As the title suggests, this Australian singer/songwriter’s album has Christian lyrics, and as that suggests this has a very precious, innocent and breezy feel.
What this description probably doesn’t convey is just how good this is : Sharpham has a delightful voice that reminds me of Bonnie Dobson and is a very gifted songwriter.
The backing is beautifully judged as well, with acoustic guitar complemented by occasional piano, tambourine and electric accordion.
In addition to Dobson, other reference points could include Dell Dudenhoeffer and Kathey J. Jee, though this is better than either of them and could become a very expensive and sought-after LP.

Rick Watson - The Light Shines On (Very rare 1979 US Private Xian Folk LP)

From somewhere in the middle of North Dakota comes this excellent artsy custom of acoustic rock, lonesome folk meditations and rough-hewn out-doorsy rural rock.
Nice unrefined bluesy electric guitar graces the latter, while the folk-edged material is delivered with the beauty and sensitivity of early Bruce Cockburn often enveloped with a stark solemn presence.
Rick plays acoustic and electric guitar and wrote all the twelve titles, including ‘Candles Burn in the Distance’, ‘The Rich Man and Lazarus’, ‘Lady Sleeps With the Light On’, ‘Whistler of Darkness and Dawn’, ‘Sea of Mystery’, and ‘Out of the Storm Into the Sun’.
Additional instruments includes bass, fiddle (one song), harmony vocals, and synthesizer (sounding pleasantly trippy on the title track).
Remarkable b&w cover design/ graphics. 

(Review from The Archivist, 4th edition, by Ken Scott).

Really an excellent album we have here … and very rare.

The folk-edged tracks are my favourites but the whole album is very consistent.

Brian Byrne - Sweet Carnloch Bay (1982 reissue on Harp of this 1973 Irish Folk masterpiece)

The track listing on the cover did not match the vinyl on the 1973 original edition on Hawk.

This 1982 reissue on Harp (HPE 652) features a new title 'Sweet Carnloch Bay' and new cover artwork which misspells Brian's name as 'Bryan Byrne' .

This is rectified on the label.

Here the track listing on the cover match the vinyl but they removed the track B1 (The Lark in the Morning) on the reissue.
Well (in my opinion) it was the weakest track on the Hawk issue.

Tracklist :

Side One
A1 Carnloch Bay
A2 The Town is not Their Own
A3 Next Market Day
A4 Lakes of Coolfin
A5 John Barleycorn
A6 Coulter's Candy

Side Two
B1 The Wind that Shakes the Barley
B2 Magherafelt May Fair
B3 Droop All the Flowers
B4 Handsome Sally
B5 The Parting Glass

A great opportunity to get this masterpiece cheaper !
