For sale, the album all the audiophiles want....and I have to say it does sound superb. Leonard Cohen made palatable
In Near Mint/Mint condition, likely unplayed before my test play (I have other copies).
Original early (1987 according to label) UK & Europe release, vinyl pressed in Germany.
£25 plus £4.50 P&P. I send 24 hour tracked in proper MusicMax mailers with reinforcements.
Please PM me for photos if required.

Perhaps if you took a photo of the cover, it might encourage some interest.
It's a lovely album. Be patient, I'm sure it will sell.

I'd like a £ for every time we played this in a demo, back in the day.

Sold.
Well, now that it's sold, I can chip in. Phil,.. I too had no knowledge of this album until this post - how did that happen? Tidal play showed it to be what I expected it to be, great sound quality and production, I am sure the vinyl will be brilliant.
Are you going to get yourself a copy Alex? You won't be disappointed. :)

Thanks Alex, the original vinyl is actually pretty hard to track down so if you get an opportunity grab one.
A lot of folk struggle with Leonard Cohen, his early stuff anyway. Jennifer Warnes often provided his backing vocals but really does do his material justice on this album and tables are even turned by him providing a contribution on one track. Highly recommended.

A bit pricey admittedly for the vinyl but plenty of options on cd and sounds superb as well as great songs and musicianship !
