RECORD from NEAR EX to VG(+) but  (please, read above description)

SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)

This is one of the most hauntingly beautiful solo albums to come out of the whole English pub rock scene, 

and references to Bob Dylan and the Band are appropriate because the rootsy/folk-like intersections with their work are here. 

It's also a rival to the best work of Brinsley Schwarz, Ducks Deluxe, Eggs Over Easy, et al. 

(and no surprise, the Brinsleys played on this album). Opening with the gorgeous, Dylanesque "Sebastian," 

built on a lyrical acoustic guitar part, Graham reveals himself a songwriter and player of extraordinary sensitivity, 

he might easily have been another Alan Hull, or even bigger than that, 

had he been able to join a band with legs or hold his own career together....(AllMusic)
