A- / A
ジャケット：背表紙わずかな色あせ。下辺片方の中央部少し割れかけ。これ以外はほとんど使用感のない美品です。
ディスク：新品同様極美品です。
20ページの綴込みブックレット付属（美品）。
パテントNo.入り穴開き内袋付属。

元Youmg Traditionのピーター・ベラミーによるバラッド・オペラの2枚組大作「ザ・トランスポーツ」。
アレンジにドリー・コリンズ。キャストがすごくてA.Lロイド、ウォーターソンズ、ニック・ジョーンズ、ジューン・テイバー、マーティン・カーシー等々の超一流どころを揃えています。
内容も悪かろうはずもなく見事"Folk Album Of The Year"に選出されました。またピーターの死後も再発が繰り返され、新キャストによる再演もなされて現在まで脈々と歌い継がれています。
ピーターのもっとも有名な仕事だと思います。
大推薦盤。

英国オリジナル盤。美品です。
