Timothy Charles "Tim" Buckley III (February 14, 1947 – June 29, 1975) was an American singer and

 musician. His music and style changed considerably through the years; his first album (1966) was

 mostly folk, but his subsequent albums incorporated jazz, psychedelia, funk, soul, avant-garde and an

 evolving "voice as instrument" sound. Though he did not find commercial success during his lifetime,

 Buckley is admired by later generations for his innovation as a musician and vocal ability.

This is a haunting and a beautiful album and a rare promo press !!!!!! has never been played and  is a promo or first pressing sent to radio stations . Hard to believe but true, back up radio promo copies never used and stored in perfect conditions

COVER :: ORIGINAL AND PRINTED IN THE USA WITH 'PROMOTIONAL COPY NOT FOR SALE' STICKER ON THE FRONT, AND MADE OF HEAVIER CARD AND HAS A SOLID SPINE AND EDGES AND OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP :: THERE IS SOME LIGHT SHELF WEAR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND A BIT OF VERY FAINT RING WEAR ALONG THE BOTTOM ON THE FRONT ONLY :: THERE IS A SMALL RUB ON EACH CORNER AND A MORE HEAVIER ONE ON THE OPENING EDGE  ON THE BOTTOM CORNER ( PLEASE SEE PHOTO ) :: THERE ARE NO OTHER ISSUES :: EX .

VINYL :: FIRSTLY YOU WILL BE PLEASED TO KNOW THAT THE AUDIO PLAYS THROUGH WITH NO SERIOUS AUDIO PROBLEMS AND HAS THAT 1ST PRESS CRISP AUDIO SOUND. THE ONLY THING IS THE VISUAL, AS SIDE 1 LOOKS FINE, SIDE 2 HAS A THIN SCUFF LINE ON THE 1ST AND HALF WAY ON THE SECOND. IT IS SLIGHTLY FEELABLE, BUT AS YOU WILL SEE IN THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION IT PLAYS THROUGH WITH NO PROBLEMS. THERE IS ALSO A FINE NEEDLE LINE ON LAST HALF OF THE VINYL, THIS IS TOTALLY UNFEELABLE AND WILL BE DESCRIBED BELOW. THERE ARE SOME WHISPY SPIDER WEB SLEEVE REMOVAL ULTRA FINE LINES WHICH ARE ALL COSMETIC AND A FINE THIN SCUFF LINE ON THE LAST TRACK AND AGAIN COSMETIC>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I ALWAYS PLAY GRADE MY ALBUMS TO GIVE YOU THE BEST, FAIREST AND MOST HONEST DESCRIPTION THAT I CAN. I PLAYED SIDE 2 TO GET THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION RIGHT !!!

SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 HAS SOME LIGHT BACKGROUND TICKS AT THE START ON THE QUIET INTRO, AND ANOTHER FOUR A BIT FURTHER INTO THE TRACK. WHILE TRACK 2 HAS FIVE SOFT FAINT TICKS AT THE START ON QUIET INTRO AND TWO MORE IN THE MIDDLE :: TRACK 3 HAS A BIT OF FAINT STATIC AT THE VERY START .

SIDE 1  HAS ONLY THREE VERY SOFT TICKS TOWARDS THE END OF TRACK 1 AND THAT'S IT !!!!! AS YOU CAN SEE THOSE MARKS MENTIONED ABOVE DO NOT EFFECT THE AUDIO VERY MUCH, AND THERE IS NOTHING LOUD OR INTRUSIVE TO SPOIL THIS AMAZING ALBUM. I WOULD STILL GRADE THE AUDIO AS ::  EX .  BUT VISUALLY IT IS AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, SO IF YOU DO NOT MIND LOOKS, THEN YOU ARE GOING TO GET A BRILLIANT RARE PROMO WITH GREAT AUDIO !!!!!

LABELS :: SPOTLESS :: EX+ . 

INNER :: A NEW WHITE INNER, NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ORIGINAL !!! ::  EX+ .

THIS REALLY IS AN AMAZING ALBUM. A SUPERB TALENT WHO IS SADLY MISSED. A TRUE MASTER PIECE AND ONE NOT TO MISS !!!!! THANKYOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME.
