A- / B+
ジャケット：開口部が見開き内側にあるユニパック仕様れ。四隅スレ。上下辺薄スレ、背表紙折目スレ。正面は微スレのみできれい。裏面は上下に薄スレ。中面は微スレ、微細な薄汚れがわずかにある程度できれい。
ディスク：レーベルはヒゲがそこそこ。盤面は細かな微スレがそこそこ見られますが極めて表面的なものです。ざっとつまみ聴き試聴しましたが、軽いチリプチやバックグラウンドノイズは少し出ますが良好に鑑賞できると思います。A-寄りの良品です。

内袋は穴開きの新しいものが付属。元々もオリジナル内袋ではありません。

バッファロー・スプリングフィールドの最終作3枚目「ラスト・タイム・アラウンド」。
良く知られているように、分裂状態の中でリッチー・フューレイとジム・メッシーナが中心となってまとめ上げられたいわくつきの作品ですが、良いものは良い！
おぢさんはニール・ヤングによる極めつけの60sポップとも言えるA1「オン・ザ・ウェイ・ホーム」のイントロを聴くだけで目がうるうるになってしまうのでした。

米国オリジナル盤。最初期の紫＆茶ツートーン・ラベル。
