VINYL = VG+ Record surfaces may show some signs of slight wear, but they don't affect the listening experience and are of a cosmetic nature only. I have cleaned and play-tested both sides of the record and it plays really well and still sounds great!

SLEEVE = VG+

PLEASE SEE PHOTOS AS PART OF DESCRIPTION

I'm selling a lot of my vinyl and CD collection, because the kids are getting bigger and the house is getting smaller! Basically, it was either the kids or the records, sadly the coin came down tails...Thanks for looking!

ONLINE REVIEW

Some performers never make a bigger splash than with their first record, a situation that and know all too well. If that's the case, though, said musicians had better make sure that debut is a doozy. , or more specifically, , falls squarely into this scenario, because while he has doggedly plugged away ever since with a series of what are, at times, not bad releases, remains the lovely touchstone of 's career. Very much the contemporaries of such well-scrubbed Scottish guitar pop confectionaries as , but with the best gumption and star quality of them all, led off the album with "Oblivious," a mini-masterpiece of acoustic guitar hooks, lightly funky rhythms, and swooning backing vocals. If nothing tops that on , most of the remaining songs come very close, while they also carefully avoid coming across like a series of general sound-alikes. 's wry way around words of love (as well as his slightly nasal singing) drew comparisons to , but sounds far less burdened by expectations and more freely fun. References from to crop up (not to mention an inspired steal from 's "Lust for Life" on "Queen's Tattoos"), but never overwhelm 's ruminations on romance, which are both sweet and sour. Musically, his capable band backs him with gusto, from the solo-into-full-band showstopper "The Bugle Sounds Again" to the heart-stopping guitar work on "Lost Outside the Tunnel." Whether listeners want to investigate further from here is up to them, but itself is a flat-out must-have.
