AARON LIGHTMAN - SAME, US POPPY PYS 40,010. 1969/'70?

ORIGINAL US ISSUE + Insert.

Very Rare US Folk Rock/Folk Psych....which has gained a lot more attention since it's CD reissue on Fallout....here's the info from that:
Little is known of this unusual Philadelphia singer-songwriter, whose delicate vocals and catchy tunes have earned him comparison with Donovan and the Bee Gees, winning him a considerable cult reputation in the process. His sole album, which blends melodic folk-pop with extravagant orchestral interludes, first appeared in 1969.
The original liner notes: “Aaron Lightman is a young singer-composer-actor from Philadelphia. Although in his twenties, his child-like appearance and slight build (100 pounds soaking wet on a good day!) tend to make people think he is much younger. Realising that we are all children in an ageing world, his songs are like his appearance. They take delight in simple things: a misty dawn, merry-go-rounds, rainy afternoons, a young girl’s hair, summertime, squirrels and the sea. Some of these songs were brought to the attention of the producers, who were looking for a vehicle to unite their classical background with popular music. The result is this album; a modern cantata utilising a chamber orchestra instead of a vocal choir; a flow of indefinable music telling a story that need not start or finish in any specific time or place or travel along a precise linear road; the thoughts and voice of one man as he journeys through the timeless flowing of the mind to discover his humanity”.

Now a very rare and sought after LP with decent copies usually $50+....this copy has the lyric insert which is often missing.

This is a ex-radio station copy which I guess, hardly got played...luckily it doesn't have the large writing that many radio station LPs have....just has a faint stamp on the front/rear and a stamp on one label plus a picking sticker top left corner around the spine.

Condition is EX-/EX (cover/record), cover has no cutout.
