Thoughts & Words

note at ebay...
Rare album by Thoughts and Words which is mainly acoustic and is slightly whimsical on some songs with heavy cello ,while some tracks have a slightly rock/folk feel. This album is full of great songs with good strong melodys. The first track on side 1 has a slight Byrds influence and moves along at a nice bright pace. The album was produced by Mike Batt but I would not class it as being commercial as it has that slight edge that makes it a bit different.
What's more it's a nice late mono pressing as most people had stereo players by 1969.Record is excellent ,has plenty of shine there are a few light surface marks on either side but both sides play really well with nice strong sound quality coming out of the speakers.Labels are excellent with no spindle wear.
