this is one of the great underrated progressive records - we all know Mick Abrahams contributed tasty jazz and blues guitar work, as well as some fine compositions to the Jethro Tull debut LP This Was - and developed his talents even further on the two Blodwyn Pig albums Ahead Rings Out and Getting To This, but this one, often mis-titled A Musical Evening With. . . (due to the poster depicted on the wall behind Mick on the front cover) and its follow-up At Last always receive considerably less attention - however, the songs are all excellent, the guitar playing is fantastic (especially on Mick's extended workout Seasons), and the band are tight, tasteful and inventive - Mick composed 6 of the 7 numbers and co-wrote the other - it's a brilliant and hugely rewarding record. . .

this is the very first UK pressing with the original 'ILPS 9147' catalogue number,

even though it's one of the official 'full-blown' early Chrysalis releases

the labels have the tiny white i logo to the top centre

and the BASING ST. LONDON address to the outer perimeter

record has blazing factory-fresh high gloss, labels perfect with no spindle traces

and the heavy gatefold sleeve, made by E. J. Day,

with the incredible embossed 'tiled' effect on the rear is exceptionally nice

lovely brand new smell - this is a beautiful package

Island / Chrysalis gem and a remarkably enjoyable album!
