Original cover art. Vinyl plays nicely (play-graded). Cover looks great; a few creases near edges; light-scuffing and surface impressions (front/back); tiny surface abrasions on front; discoloration spots on back. Inner-sleeve is original (generic white). Spine is easy-to-read (printed off-center) with mild-wear. Some shelf-wear along top-edge; heavier wear along bottom-edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. Columbia House pressing with black MCA rainbow label. (Not a cut-out.)
I've Cried the Blue Right Out of My Eyes is a collection of songs by country music singer Crystal Gayle. The album consists of her earliest recordings from Gayle's tenure on the Decca Records label from the early 1970s (Decca was assimilated into MCA Records during Gayle's contract). Four of the album's ten tracks were originally released as singles between 1970 and 1973, including Gayle's earliest hit, I've Cried (The Blue Right Out of My Eyes), which reached No. 23 on the Billboard Country Singles chart in August 1970 (the song was re-released in early 1978 to promote this album, this time reaching No. 40 on the Country Singles chart). Everybody Oughta Cry reached No. 70 in January 1972, and I Hope You're Havin' Better Luck Than Me peaked at No. 49 in May 1972. This album was released at the height of Gayle's popularity, sandwiched between two of her most successful UA albums, We Must Believe in Magic and When I Dream.
