Reviews
I've heard about and read about this album, but never listened to it until tonight. I can see why Forbert was touted so highly as a songwriter, there are some great lyrics here, but I didn't expect the songs to be quite so tuneful. This pressing sounds good, instruments are clearly separated, nice range from top to bottom, and a warm, vivid soundstage. My copy has some scuffs but plays cleanly with no noticeable surface noise.
Fantastic debut album from a true troubadour! Steve Forbert deserves to be mentioned in the same conversation as Jim Croce, John Prine and Van Morrison This man is a totally underrated performer this debut is classic five stars!referencing Alive On Arrival (LP, Album, Reissue) EPC 83308
My copy is the Dutch press and has the same serial number- This is PZ, not JZ 35538, right? Listed is the PZ as a Canadian record only, which mine is not. I think it's a typo?
