A fantastic and underrated album in a catalogue of continuous achievement. Gossip about John Lennon’s ‘lost weekend’ sometimes undermines the quality of the music produced during this period.

Scared, Steel And Glass, Nobody Loves You When You’re Down And Out, the collaboration with a young Julian Lennon closing the album, and the instrumental nod to Paul McCartney: Beef Jerky, are some of my personal highlights, but the whole album is in need of some retrospective appreciation.

LP has a couple of very light scratches, plays through fine with occasional low surface noise. Close to VG+ but graded down to be on the safe side.

Sleeve opening is along left edge and top edge. The bottom flap has sadly ripped off but I still have it so it will be provided. Some fraying to top edge.
