Seal // Seal // 1994 ZTT Records/Warner Music UK
Vinyl: EX // Cover: EX
Extremely difficult to find, Seal's second self titled album. Features his biggest hit, the #1 single "Kiss From A Rose." This is the UK version. It's extremely difficult to find, very rare, and it sounds amazing.  Vinyl sounds crisp and clean with almost no crackling at all with no skips when play tested. Has a small price tag sticker on the cover. The inner sleeve is plain white. The cover shows a slight bit of ring wear on the front (see photos). 
Fresh from his 1991 self-titled debut, Seal followed with another self-titled release. And true to form, it's another stunning work, although it becomes clear  that a musical maturation has taken place. Produced by ex-Buggles frontman Trevor Horn (Pet Shop Boys, ABC, Yes, Frankie Goes to Hollywood), Seal  is far more enchanting than his debut. True, Seal is a bit too relaxed at times, but aside from that criticism, the record is lush with harmonies and over-the-top  melodies. "Don't Cry" flows with the luxuriant vibes of a hushed vocal and a bellowing string arrangement. Seal showcases his collaborative talent with "If I  Could," a duet featuring Canadian folkie Joni Mitchell. "Kiss from a Rose" and "Prayer for the Dying" established Seal as a household name after both became  radio and television mainstays. The soul is there, hauntingly similar to singer Terence Trent D'Arby. But what's so unique about Seal is his gift of transforming  free-flowing songs into quick dancefloor tracks with a transcendent step into musical magic. His voice has a spell like that, and his second album reflects such skills.
