From 1974, here is Roxy Music's excellent 4th studio album, "Country Life", the album considered by many critics to be among the band's most sophisticated and consistent.  In 2003, "Country Life" was ranked number 387 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.  It was one of four Roxy Music studio albums that made the list ("For Your Pleasure", "Siren", and "Avalon" being the others).  
On this copy, an original ATCO Records US Presswell first pressing, the vinyl has some marks that do not affect play; it is in Very Good Plus [VG+] condition.  The original, uncensored cover likewise is in Very Good Plus [VG+] condition.  The included original inner sleeve with the song lyrics printed on both sides, is in only Very Good [VG] condition, based solely on the fact that the sides show extenstive splitting - otherwise it would also be Very Good Plus [VG+].  Below is additional information.
