This is a distinctive compilation or label sampler featuring the whimsical "Moonraker" mascot—a crescent moon playing a banjo against a starry night sky. Moonraker was a specialized UK budget or independent label often associated with folk, bluegrass, and light instrumental music.
Additional Features: The label design is a full-color illustration with "MOONRAKER" in red block letters and "MUSIC" on a yellow scroll. This specific side features the matrix number MOO-4-B-1 etched into the run-out groove.
Condition
Vinyl: Graded EX (Excellent). The illustrated label is pristine, with no spindle wear or ink fading. The vinyl surface retains a deep, mirror-like gloss and appears to have been stored very carefully.
Cover: Likely carrying sticker 3/84 on the poly-sleeve. These releases often featured generic or simple graphic sleeves that matched the label's folk-art aesthetic.
