Very difficult to find releases such as this from Ray Dorset
Another great British musician from the 70's, most well known for his very commercial (and successful) song "In The Summertime" with the group Mungo Jerry. Even this song, In The Summertime, is not the same as the commercial release - this one has far more emphasis on the vocals and is a little slower tempo than the 7" release.
But Ray's talent is much more than this, excellent rock songs abound on this album - many of them will be unknown to the listener but the musicianship and singing is truly great.
Some songs are classic rock, some country folk rock and also slow rock n roll in the style of Elvis. Overall a very "70's" British sound for the day, much like The Stones.

UK release
Cover is in very good condition, just a little creasing to the edges.
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in good - very good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source I can see a few light scratches on each side.
I have played both sides of the record and surface noise is certainly there (like a constant surface noise but low level most of the time) and the record is still a very listenable collection of songs from Ray.
New outer protective sleeve
