Vinyl plays with occasional light-crackles (play-graded). Cover looks great, a few creases near edges; light scuffing and some surface impressions (front/back); back has some discoloration spots and surface abrasion at top right. Inner-sleeve is original (generic white); two seams partially split. Spine is easy-to-read with mild wear. Minor shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. Red label with Columbia around edges. (Not a cut-out.)
You Lay So Easy on My Mind by Andy Williams, released in November 1974 by Columbia Records. The idea for this LP was mentioned in an interview with Williams in the November 3, 1973, issue of Billboard magazine that emphasized his desire to move away from recording albums of Easy Listening covers of hits by other artists, noting that he was "planning an album to be cut in Nashville with Columbia's high-flying country-pop producer, Billy Sherrill." The album made its first appearance on the Billboard Top LP's & Tapes chart in the issue dated December 28, 1974, and remained there for four weeks, peaking at No. 150. The first song from the album to be released as a single by Williams was Another Lonely Song, which entered Billboard magazine's list of the 40 most popular Easy Listening songs of the week in the US in the issue dated September 21, 1974, and stayed on the chart for eight weeks, peaking at No. 29. Cry Softly entered that same chart in the April 12, 1975, issue and reached No. 20 over the course of six weeks,[7] and the title track from the album entered the UK singles chart the following month, on May 31, for a seven-week stay that took the song to No. 32.
