Still in ORIGINAL SHRINK-WRAP (opened). 3-panel POSTER NOT INCLUDED . Vinyl plays nicely (play-graded). Cover looks great; a few creases near edges, no scuffing (front/back); surface abrasion at front top right and midway along opening edge where shrink has loosened. Inner-sleeve is original (fan-club/discography); two sides partially split. Spine is easy-to-read with very mild wear. Little shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge; some wear to corners. Opening is crisp with signs of some use. (Not a cut-out.)
Gideon reached #1 on the country charts and the top 20 of the pop album charts. It includes the worldwide hit Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer (a duet with Kim Carnes, who also wrote and produced the album for Rogers). Gideon is a concept album about a Texas cowboy, and all the songs stick to this theme. The album is a look back at his life in retrospect. In the first song Gideon Tanner, it is known that Gideon is dead. This and most of the other songs are sung from the point of view of Gideon. Although the alum's only single release was Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer, the song Saying Goodbye was issued on the B-side to Rogers' top five hit single Love the World Away.
