Sandy Denny's second post-Fairport solo offering, produced by then-future husband Trevor Lucas, is a beautiful blend of the traditional style with which she is most often associated and a slightly more lavish sound that would become more prevalent in her later work.
Lucas does an excellent job of balancing the two and creates an exquisite backdrop for Denny's gorgeous songs and majestic voice.
Nearly every track has the radiance and timelessness of her best Fairport work, along with an accessibility she had merely hinted at prior to this. "Listen, Listen," with its soaring chorus and bed of strings and mandolin, the lovely "The Lady," and the layered a cappella vocal arrangement of Richard Fariña's "Quiet Joys of Brotherhood" (featuring Dave Swarbrick's haunting solo violin coda) are perfect examples of Denny's enormous talents, and only a few of the many pleasures found here.
Touches such as lush strings, Allen Toussaint's horn arrangement on "For Nobody to Hear," Sneaky Pete Kleinow's steel guitar and former Fairport partner Richard Thompson's guitars and mandolin bring out the many dimensions in Denny's music without obscuring it. Sandy also boasts her best collection of original material, as well as terrific covers of Dylan's "Tomorrow Is a Long Time," featuring Linda Thompson Peters on backing vocals, and the aforementioned "Quiet Joys of Brotherhood."

Both surfaces are immaculate, unmarked and shine like new (just the normal wispy light hairlines under bright light - of no audio significance)
VINYL Audio: MINT
Outstanding audio quality to this first pressing with a crystal clear, full, rich and warm sound and my play-check at loud volume found nothing to fault - even the gentle "Quiet Joys Of Brotherhood" plays beautifully - a really stunning copy and the finest you could wish for - plays just as it would have done, brand new back in 1972
SLEEVE: MINT-
As clean, sharp and fresh as the day it left the factory - again, like-new - the finest example I have seen
INNER SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
The original poly lined, blue Island inner is practically untouched - just some age-related fading - no seam splits
