1973
Cover is in good minus condition, yellowed due to light fading and a bit grubby - not laminated so it is hard to keep clean.
No tears or seam splits.
The original paper sleeve is supplied because it is very interesting - it is a "blurb sheet" from CBS, promoting the other artists in the CBS stable of the day....such artists as Tranquility, Crazy Horse, Home, Miles Davis, Poco, New Riders Of The Purple Sage, Soft Machine etc
The sleeve is laid out like a newspaper and gives a brief bio of each artist - interesting reading in itself.
New inner rice paper sleeve
Vinyl is in good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source I can see a few light - medium scratches on each side - I have listened to both sides and for sure you can hear the vinyl surface noise but even though many of Leonard's songs are sung softly, still very enjoyable.
New outer protective sleeve
