Vinyl plays with occasional light-crackles (play-graded). Cover looks good, a few creases near edges; light scuffing and surface impressions (front/back); noticeable surface abrasions near bottom on back cover. Inner-sleeve is generic white. 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. Small abrasion on one side of label. (Not a cut-out.)
Time Passages, the eighth studio album by Al Stewart, peaked at No. 10 on Billboard 200 in the U.S. It is the follow-up to his 1976 album Year of the Cat. Two singles from the album reached top 40 status: Time Passages (No. 7 Pop Singles and No. 1 Adult Contemporary) and Song on the Radio (No. 29 Pop Singles). A reviewer on allmusic.com says, "{the} added concentration on the texture of the recording, ensuring that it was clean, spacious, and gentle, with a welcoming surface. Of course, this means that Time Passages can work very well as background music, but it also reveals much upon concentrated listening -- enough to make it stand proudly next to Modern Times and Year of the Cat as one of Al Stewart's very best albums."
