Leon Russel - Original 1970 US Shelter label 11-track LP

Scarce original 1970 US Shelter label 11-track debut solo album by great and important American songwriter, arranger and session musicians - part of Los Angeles 'wrecking Crew' and later in the Asylum Choir with Marc Benno. 'Leon Russell' is recorded with an impressive line up including most Beatles and Rolling Stones members, Delaney and Boney, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood a.o.

Vinyl has the generic red company labels with black printing and left side integrated 'S' shield and egg logos - above smaller fonted and curver company name.

Vinyl is held in a sturdy, back pasted card picture cover.

Condition: M- (Vinyl and Label)/VG++ (Cover):
Vinyl is bright and shiny and has a single light, small and superficial mark - which has no effect on the play what so ever. Vinyl has perfect labels and is overall plain near mint mint.

Cover is still in its original shrink wrapping - has a touch of age discolouration along opening and a rubbing toopening edges growing just a little bit more pronounced against the very slightly dented opening corners - an extremely nice copy.
