Description

Comments:  Nice copy of this rare singer-songwriter LP with psych-folk tendencies (e.g., the 9:35 minute "Nowhere" with its unexpected but appropriate Robert Wyatt space exploration) packaged in one of the more elaborately fashioned and executed original covers.  This record didn't have "legs" of its own but it did have a nice pair of pants.  They might even fit you if you were born without legs or if you lost them in a tragic accident (passed out on the train tracks, e.g.). 

The denim cover is in ex shape.  Vinyl is vg+ with a fair amount of surface scuffing.  There is surface noise wafting in the background of most songs (all of which are acoustic and relatively quiet) but nothing fatal to the experience.  Maybe not the ultimate archival keeper copy if you're a super fan of the massive constellation of Gordon Lightfoot inspired private presses but still a perfectly nice copy to hold onto for awhile and enjoy.

I would have posted an old review from Ass Id Archives except they "got tired" of seeing their reviews posted on eBay and pulled their website down.  I guess they want everyone to forget about them?  I certainly will.
