THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE THE ORIGINAL MATT COVER WITH ELEKTRA NEW YORK AND LONDON ADDRESSES
STILL MOSTLY IN SHRINK WHICH COVERS THE SPINE, MOST OF THE BACK AND HALF THE FRONT
Buckley's 1966 debut was the most straightforward and folk-rock-oriented of his albums. The material has a lyrical and melodic sophistication that was astounding for a 19-year-old.
The pretty, almost precious songs are complemented by appropriately baroque, psychedelic-tinged production. If there was a record that exemplified the '60s Elektra folk-rock sound, this may have been it, featuring production by Elektra owner Jac Holzman and Doors producer Paul Rothchild, Love and Doors engineer Bruce Botnick, and string arrangements by Jack Nitzsche. That's not to diminish the contributions of the band, which included his longtime lead guitarist Lee Underwood and Van Dyke Parks on keyboards.
Buckley was still firmly in the singer-songwriter camp on this album, showing only brief flashes of the experimental vocal flights, angst-ridden lyrics, and soul influences that would characterise much of his later work. It's not his most adventurous outing, but it's one of his most accessible, and retains a fragile beauty.

LABELS: EXCELLENT+
Clean, unmarked labels - some scuffing around the spindle hole but not many spindle traces
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+
Both surfaces shine like new but in common with North American pressings there some pressing blemishes - all superficial and audibly harmless
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT
Fantastic LP - plays beautifully throughout with crystal clear, clean, bright sound.
No scratches or groovewear noted - nothing but an occasional tick (only a couple of which rise above background level) and some low-level surface between tracks - all minor considerations and more than compensated for by the superb sound quality.
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Great condition, especially for these 60s US covers which are easily split.
There is some rub on the parts of the cover not protected by the shrink but it's very minor
