GREAT COPY WHICH HAS SEEN LITTLE USE

THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL MATT SLEEVE “SHOREPAK by Shorewood Packaging Co. Ltd. ENGLAND ”
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL CBS ADVERTISING COMPANY INNER SLEEVE

Home's second album, perhaps even a little more than their 1971 debut Pause for a Hoarse Horse, might have been mistaken for an American country-rock record at a casual listen, though the band were British. In keeping with California trends, too, the country-rock got a little slicker, the harmonies at points slightly resembling those of the Eagles, though that group had yet to really take off when Home was issued. It's a marginally more serious, mellow, and wistful LP than Home's first album, and the more laid-back qualities of early-'70s Neil Young must count as a prominent influence as well, on both the singing and songwriting

Side 1:
Dreamer
Knave
Fancy Lady, Hollywood Child
Rise Up
Dear Lord
Side 2:
Baby Friend Of Mine
Western Front
Lady Of The Birds

LABELS: MINT / NEAR MINT
An immaculate set of clean, unmarked labels with a few spindle traces on Side 2 but none on Side 1
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both sides shine like new with nothing but some superficial and harmless brush marks
VINYL Audio: MINT / NEAR MINT
Plays like new throughout with nothing to fault Side 1 and only some light low-level ticks noted on Side 2 - nothing major - sounds great
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Again, like new with only the smallest touch of storage rub to the bottom edge otherwise as crisp, clean, sharp and fresh as the day it was made
