Original 1976 UK issue of Manter's settings of various texts by arch gloomster humourist Gorey. Robert Wyatt does the singing-to wonderful effect-and the music comes from Carla Bley, Steve Swallow, Jack DeJohnette and a slightly unhinged-sounding Terje Rypdal.

Sleeve is a bit wrinkled, possibly from water damage although there is no staining. It's a minor problem. Vinyl has a few tiny marks but plays nicely.
