Under Open Skies is a very strong album by the Island recording artist who left Spooky Tooth and joined Mott the Hoople. "Ride On" begins the festivities with Grosvenor playing both bass and lead guitar; Spooky Tooth's Mick Kellie provides the drums; John Hawken is on piano; and harmonies are by Jim Capaldi of Traffic and the man Luther Grosvenor replaced in Mott the Hoople, Mick Ralphs.

Here Comes The Queen (3:35)
When I Met You (5:20)
Love The Way (3:30)

Waiting (4:15)
Rocket (4:35)

LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, fresh labels with just one very light spindle trace per side
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces are unmarked shine like-new
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT
Even though this copy has seen very little use and looks pristine on play there are some (non-continuous) background ticks in a few spots.
No scratches or anything else to report and a very strong EXCELLENT
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
A good solid gatefold with sharp edges and spine where all text is clear and bold.
Just a couple of indentation marks to the front which can only be seen when angled to the light and a little rub/ring to the back.
Again, a very strong EXCELLENT
