A / A
ジャケット：左下切れ込みカット。背表紙上位角わずかなスレ。表面は微スレ少しできれいです。全体にぴんとした美品です。
ディスク：レーベルはヒゲ無し。盤面は微細な紙スレ程度の美品です。

"Introducing Bat McGrath & Don Potter"でおなじみのニューヨークのフォークデュオ出身、バット・マクグレイスの78年作「ザ・スパイ」。
前作"From The Blue Eagle"がアコースティック・グルーヴが気持ちよいプリAOR的なちょっとメローなシンガーソングライター作品でしたが、今回は気合の入ったAOR作品と言ってよいでしょう。盟友ドン・ポッターも全面参加。
曲が良いので極上のAORサウンドを楽しめます。

米国オリジナル盤。
美品です。
