 "Court and Spark" by Joni Mitchell  Asylum Records 7E-1001  First Pressing  gatefold embossed album cover This is the 6th studio album by the Canadian singer-songwriter, released in January, 1974 (notice the album is dated 1973). It was an immediate commercial and critical success, reaching #2 in the U.S. and #1 in Canada and eventually received a double platinum certification by the RIAA. It also reached the Top 20 in the UK and was voted the best album of the year for 1974 in The Village Voice Pazz and Jop Critica Poll. It has been described as 'pop', but also infuses Mitchell's 'folk rock' style, which she had developed through her previous five albums, with jazz inflections.
The cover and the album are both rated as Excellent.
VISUAL GRADING SYSTEM FOR VINYL CONDITION (I do not play test LPs)
Near Mint: Very slight imperfections. No scratches, perhaps only very slight scuffs from the cover.
Excellent: Only  couple of marks and perhaps a couple of very light scratches or scuffs.
Very Good: Has marks and light scratches but nothing major, only surface. An LP in this grade may well have a bit of surface noise.
Good: Has a lot of marks, mainly only surface and more than likely a couple of very visible, deep looking scratches that are probably heard and some may skip.
Fair: Has a lot of surface marks and scratches that are deep, definitely heard and likely skip.
