B / A- / SPSE
ジャケット：四隅スレ。上辺開口部から10cm背表紙から15cmほど割れ、背表紙上部10cmほど割れ。正面上下薄スレ。裏面軽微な薄シミ、薄汚れ。
ディスク：レーベルはヒゲ無し。盤面はわずかな微スレ程度の美品です。ざっと聴き流しました。気付いたのはB2序盤のプツ音1回と静音部での微細なチリプチ程度。全編良好に鑑賞できると思います。実際の音源を参考にしてください。
バッファロー・スプリングフィールドの2nd「アゲイン」。
スティーヴン・スティルス、ニール・ヤング、リッチー・フューレイ、デューイ・マーティン、ブルース・パーマー、5人の若者が作り上げた名作中の名作ですね。
バッファローはやはりこの2ndにとどめを刺すでしょう。
基本中の基本です。
米国オリジナル盤。盤は美品です。イエロー・ラベルのwマーク入り。70年代中頃のものと思われます。
試聴曲は現品からの取り込み音源です。
