"At Last" (1972) by the Mick Abrahams Band, is the second album that Mick Abrahams did after leaving Blodwyn Pig, and the last he would release until his wonderful solo album "All Said And Done" (1991). Mick Abrahams was a founding member of Jethro Tull, but differences between himself and Ian Anderson resulted in his leaving after their first album "This Was" (1968). From there he founded the group Blodwyn Pig, but left after two albums: "Ahead Rings Out" (1969) and "Getting To This" (1970). He then went on to release the "Mick Abrahams" (1971) album, which is sometimes considered the first album from the Mick Abrahams Band. The style of the music is rock with jazz and blues influences. "When I Get Back", and "Absent Friends" along with "Maybe Because" are among the strongest tracks, but all of the songs are worth a listen. On this album Mick Abrahams plays guitar (including pedal steel and seven string slide) and sings. He is joined by Bob Sargeant (keyboards, mandolin, guitar and vocals), Ritchie Dharma (drums, percussion and vibes) and Walt Monoghan (bass) from his "Mick Abrahams" album. He is also reunited with Jack Lancaster (tenor and soprano sax, flute and clarinet) from Blodwyn Pig. THIS IS THE RARE uk IMPORT ROUND COVER.

MINT (M): A PERFECT, NEVER PLAYED RECORD. USUALLY A RECORD WON’T GET THIS RATING UNLESS IT’S STILL SEALED. SOMETIMES THE RECORD ITSELF MIGHT BE DESCRIBED AS MINT BUT ONLY IN THE MOST PERFECT SITUATIONS.

NEAR MINT (NM): AN ALMOST PERFECT RECORD. THIS IS USUALLY OUR HIGHEST RATING. MOST TIMES A NEAR MINT RECORD (SLEEVE AND RECORD ITSELF) ISN’T GOING TO VARY MUCH FROM A MINT RECORD EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT IT’S NOT SEALED WHEN WE GET IT AND WE DON’T ALWAYS KNOW WHAT PLAYING CONDITIONS OUR RECORDS HAVE BEEN THROUGH BEFORE THEY REACH US. A NEAR MINT RECORD WOULD HAVE THE SLIGHTEST IMPERFECTIONS; VERY LIGHT RING WEAR, SLIGHT HANDLING…

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+): THERE WILL BE SIGNS THAT THE RECORD WAS PLAYED AND HANDLED BUT WITH GOOD CARE TAKEN. THERE MAY BE SOME VERY LIGHT SCRATCHES OR SCUFFS THAT AREN’T NOTICEABLE WHILE LISTENING. SLEEVE MIGHT HAVE SOME DISCOLORATION AND RING WEAR. A VG+ RECORD IS A VERY ACCEPTABLE RECORD WITH ONLY A FEW THINGS WRONG WITH IT.

VERY GOOD (VG): THE PROBLEMS IN A VG+ RECORD BECOME MORE EVIDENT IN A VG RECORD. SURFACE NOISE MAY BE HEARD DURING PLAYBACK BUT WON’T BE OVERPOWERING. MORE GROOVE WEAR WILL BE NOTICEABLE AND THERE MIGHT BE SOME DEEPER SCRATCHES THAT AFFECT THE SOUND. LABELS MIGHT HAVE STICKERS OR TAPE ON THEM.

GOOD (G), GOOD PLUS (G+): WILL PLAY THROUGH WITHOUT SKIPPING AND GROOVE WEAR AND SURFACE NOISE WILL BE CONSIDERABLE. THE SLEEVE MIGHT HAVE SEAM SPLITS, WRITING, RING WEAR AND MORE TAPE ON IT THAN A VG RECORD. WE GENERALLY DON’T LIST RECORDS AT GOOD OR GOOD PLUS UNLESS ONLY THE RECORD ITSELF OR THE SLEEVE IS IN THIS CONDITION WHILE THE OTHER IS AT A HIGHER GRADE.

POOR (P), FAIR (F): HEAVY WEAR. RECORD IS CRACKED, BADLY WARPED AND SKIPS DURING PLAYBACK. SLEEVES ARE SPLIT ON ALL SIDES, WATER DAMAGED, AND HAVE A LOT OF WRITING. WE DON’T LIST POOR OR FAIR CONDITIONED RECORDS.

ALL OF OUR RECORDS ARE GRADED VISUALLY BUT IF AN AUDITORY GRADING IS NECESSARY SEND US A MESSAGE AND WE'LL TRY OUR BEST TO RESPOND IN A TIMELY MANNER.
