The hormone-crazed, sex-drenched, dope-dazed, blue-eyed FUNK at its most deranged, this, the Tim Buckley's last truly GREAT album funks and rocks and sways like crazy, and includes some of the most honest and revealing songs of his career, and that’s surely telling a lot. The album includes what we feel is the very finest Buckley vocal performance on record, "Sweet Surrender",  the almost 7-minute long, gut-wrenching, emotional roller-coaster, which actually charted in Germany and parts of Europe in 1973. A critical piece in any Tim Buckley discography. 

THE WHITE LABEL PROMO, RADIO STATION-, AUDITION OR DEMONSTRATION COPIES AND RELEASES (such as the one we have here) were often distributed to the radio stations before the record was released to the public, sometimes as much as four months ahead. These records are generally considered to be the "first among equals": the VERY FIRST generation and the VERY FIRST pressings of the particular title; a PROTOTYPE and the earliest known official pressing of the record.

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS EXCELLENT. This is one of those albums that are somewhat difficult to grade. It is somewhere between VG++ and NEAR MINT, just a notch below NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions ARE visible, but they are extremely shallow, superficial  and only moderately visually distracting (nothing significant).For the most part, the vinyl looks impeccable without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.

(c)           The album comes with the replica (copy) of the promo-only insert

(d)          White Promo Label version of this title is much rarer that a regular, commercially released, version of this title. We estimate that stock copies of this album outnumber promo copies by a ratio of at least 50:1.

(e)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER (THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, UNIPAC COVER WITH A DETACHABLE POSTCARD)

THE COVER IS NEAR MINT !

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-         Cover has JUST A HINT of ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 1 (front side) and 2 (back side).

-        Cover has a light "wrinkle" (crease)  in one of the corners.

-         Cover shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging.
