Item Description:
Offered directly from the collection of the original first owner, who bought this album brand new upon its release in 1973! A fantastic, highly collectible copy of "If It Was So Simple", the debut album by the British folk-rock band Longdancer.

This album is a legendary piece of music history, as it marks the very first recording steps of a young Dave Stewart (pictured on the far left of the gorgeous front cover), who would later achieve global superstardom in the 1980s as the mastermind behind the synth-pop duo Eurythmics! On this record, his multi-instrumental talents are already on full display, contributing guitars, mandolin, autoharp, and bass.
