Buckley's 1966 debut was the most straightforward and folk-rock-oriented of his albums.
The material has a lyrical and melodic sophistication that was astounding for a 19-year-old.
The pretty, almost precious songs are complemented by appropriately baroque, psychedelic-tinged production. If there was a record that exemplified the '60s Elektra folk-rock sound, this may have been it, featuring production by Elektra owner Jac Holzman and Doors producer Paul Rothchild, Love and Doors engineer Bruce Botnick, and string arrangements by Jack Nitzsche.
That's not to diminish the contributions of the band, which included his longtime lead guitarist Lee Underwood and Van Dyke Parks on keyboards. Buckley was still firmly in the singer-songwriter camp on this album, showing only brief flashes of the experimental vocal flights, angst-ridden lyrics, and soul influences that would characterise much of his later work

Practically unmarked with a beautiful deep glossy sheen
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT/EXCELLENT++
Outstanding sound performance - deep, rich and incredibly immediate - superb production with every nuance crystal clear, sharp and focused - sounds absolutely stunning and my play-check at loud volume found little to fault - just a light touch of surface on the quiet, delicate and beautiful 'Song Slowly Song' (nothing major and nothing at all intrusive) but no other audible distractions - tremendous record - very, very highly recommended indeed
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Apart from a slight touch of ring to the back this a very fine example with little wear to the edges or spine - where all text is clear and bold. Good and solid, clean and unmarked
