Rare original 1970 UK Reprise Records 8-track LP - British progressive rock bands 3rd album - and their first featuring bassist John Weider and keyboardist Poli Palmer as a substitute for Rick Grech, who had left for Blind Faith, and saxophonist Jim King respectively.
'A song for me' is musically almost equally devided between more potent slightly proggish hard rock and folk-rock styling with a drop of jazz and country influenced tunes.
Vinyl is manufactured with the generic three colour company 'steamboat' labels - includes lyric insert - housed in a gatefold picture cover.
Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and labels)/M- (Insert)/VG++ (Cover):
