CONDITION OF COVER . . . N- (Near Mint)
CONDITION OF DISC . . . . . E (Excellent)

Very nice-looking copy. Singer/guitarist Malcolm Morley wrote all the songs here, except for his adaptation of the traditional gospel number "I Must See Jesus For Myself." Produced by Dave Robinson (I believe he produced some early Flamin Groovies stuff & was married to rock gossip columnist Lisa Robinson.) Recorded at Olympic Studios in London. Unusual cover illustration uses a trippy Hansel & Gretel motif. Thanks to "the Brinsley Boys" (Brinsley Schwartz) in the liner notes. Original 1971 UK pressing on the unusual Liberty rainbow label. (Liberty UK LBS 83484).
