Vinyl plays with occasional light-crackles (play-graded). Cover looks good; moderate scuffing, creases and a few surface impressions (front/back). Inner-sleeve is original (generic white); small tears near center hole on both sides. Spine is easy to read with wear. Minor shelf-wear along top-edge; more noticeable wear along bottom edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. Poster not included. Orange labels. (Not a cut-out.)
Aerie, by American singer-songwriter John Denver, debuted on the Billboard 200 album charts on December 4, 1971, hitting No. 75 and peaked at No. 37 on the Country Album Charts. It spawned two singles: Everyday and Friends With You (No. 4 Adult Contemporary Billboard). The song The Eagle and the Hawk was the title theme music to an ABC documentary of the same title starring both Denver and noted conservationist Morlan Nelson. This documentary is in storage at ABC, but it has not been repeated nor released by ABC. Denver's piloting skills in sail planes was shown. A reviewer on allmusic.com says, "Denver's trademark uplifting nature-oriented songs make up a good half of the tracks. The soaring The Eagle and the Hawk, in fact, is the centerpiece of the album. Though it's a less well-known work in his oeuvre, Aerie is worth seeking out to get a more complete picture of the artist's range."
