Seals & Crofts – Diamond Girl
Label: Warner Bros. Records – K 46218
Format: Vinyl, LP, Album
Country: UK
Released: 1973
Genre: Pop, Rock

Another of my record fair finds - perfect for a middle-of-the-road Friday. Not too hot, not too cold, just right. Totally 1973 album music with strong leads and supporting strings - not hearing anything more from the orchestra though (I hope they got a deal :) ).

Had to give the lead (and album naming) track a few listens as toward the end as they wrap up the tune there's some funky beat/drum repeat stuff going on that made me think the track was skipping. Don't recall hearing it other times I'd heard the cut.

9/10 -- would spin again

I'm a sucker for this cover, so I jumped at the chance to pick up a sealed copy. $5 CAD at a local record fair.

Yeah, it's almost a cliché to have in a collection, but it makes me smile.

I also have a fairly good play copy, so this will stay in the shrink and be displayed appropriately :)
