Description
A beautiful condition first pressing of Sandy Denny's classic album. I thought it was a new copy when I saw it but it is the original Island pink rim label, and A1/B1. Matt gatefold sleeve. I can't imagine you could find better. The lined pale blue inner is excellent, with some creasing to one corner.
"Sandy is the second solo album by British folk rock musician Sandy Denny. Work on the album began just a fortnight after her UK tour promoting her debut solo album, The North Star Grassman and the Ravens, ended in early November 1971 and continued through to May 1972. The album was released in September 1972."
"All of the album's songs were finished at Sound Techniques and Island studios in about five sessions between the end of April and late May, during which string arrangements by Harry Robinson were added and two further Denny compositions were recorded: "It Suits Me Well" and "It'll Take A Long Time". A cover version (the by now ubiquitous Bob Dylan cover) of "Tomorrow Is a Long Time" completed the LP. Allen Toussaint’s brass arrangement on "For Nobody To Hear" was recorded at Deep South Studio in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
The guest musicians include Fairport Convention colleagues Richard Thompson and Dave Swarbrick, as well as Sneaky Pete Kleinow (of Flying Burrito Brothers fame) on steel guitar, and friend and fellow singer Linda Thompson on backing vocals.
The album was originally issued in a gatefold sleeve featuring on its front a photograph by David Bailey, which came to define Denny's public image. The gatefold of the LP opened to show the song lyrics handwritten by Denny herself and bordered by garlands of flowers drawn by Trevor Lucas's sister, the illustrator Marion Appleton. The back cover featured the track listing and credits. Radio One DJ Tony Blackburn picked the album's lead single, "Listen, Listen", as his single of the week in September 1972."
