Vinyl plays nicely (play-graded). Cover looks good; a few creases near edges; moderate scuffing, tiny surface abrasions, and surface impressions (front/back). Inner-sleeve is original ("The Inner Sleeve"). Spine is easy-to-read with mild-wear. Shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)
Alone Again (Naturally) by Andy Williams mainly consisted of songs originated by other artists. For its release in the UK, the album was titled The First Time Ever (I Saw Your Face). The album made its first appearance on the Top LP's & Tapes chart in the issue dated September 30, 1972, and remained there for 18 weeks, peaking at No. 86. The only song on the album ever released as a single by Williams was Home Lovin' Man, which had already had its chart run on Billboard magazine's list of the 40 most popular Easy Listening songs of the week in the U.S. back in 1970, when it reached No. 10. The song had also reached No. 7 on the UK singles chart by the end of that year. Coinciding with its first North American release on a Williams LP, the same recording entered the Easy Listening chart again in the November 4, 1972, issue of Billboard and made it to No. 27 during its five weeks there.] In their capsule review for retailers, Billboard magazine wrote, "Chalk up another important chart item for Williams as he takes on some strong hits of today and adds his own fine touches to them." They singled out a few tracks in particular. “Along with the title tune, Williams delivers exceptional readings of Where Is the Love, Song Sung Blue, Amazing Grace and I Need You.
