71

CASUALS: S/T (JOLLY LPJ 5097, Italy)
(no title given on sleeve; "Hour World" on label)

grade (disc/cover): EX(strong) / VG+
notes on condition: record has a great gloss, immaculate labels--harldy or perhaps never played. front-laminated sleeve is quite nice but there's some tough to spot tape residue on the front, tiny bent & dented corners & very minor damade on back cover.

The sole album by these hit-making British popsters was released  with eleven tracks in the UK and US, while Italy, their adopted home for a while, was graced with a 15-track album, and included four songs that my quickie search couldn't place anywhere else in their discography; ironically enough they easily surpass the rest of the album, if for no other reason than their strangeness....

"see!" is :45sec of an organ chord ( a "C" perhaps?) resting on a bed of seagulls and ocean waves;
"picnic" is a surrealists' safari, an excursion deep into the surrounds of the jungle lounge;
"love me tonight" is the, er, toughest tune on the LP and the one that most approaches a "spin" for the group in these days and ages...

The record's fidelity, stereo separation etc is all pretty top-notch; don't know if you'll get a sense of that with these mp3 samples.

I try to present the items I sell in an accurate and honest way. Please contact me with any questions you have.

Records are conservatively graded taking into account both how the record looks and sounds. I try to describe the condition of each item as completely as I can; please also refer to the pictures. A NM record or sleeve shows little or no signs of ever having been handled. A disc or sleeve with only the slightest signs of wear and handling, or one that is in NM condition with one or two minor flaws, will be graded EX. My next grade is NEX for items that don't qualify for a strict "EX" but don't show wear consistent with most people's definition of VG+. A NEX record will still have a nice gloss and can be expected to play back extremely well. A VG+ record will show more signs of wear & handling but this can be light scuffing with little effect on playback. A VG record has more wear to both the grooves and the label; it will still deliver an enjoyable listening experience.
