Songs like \"Here Comes My Wife\" and \"Lovely City\" reveal a tender, youthful perspective, while \"It's A Super Duper Life\" adds a bit of whimsy to the mix. This compilation offers a glimpse into the formative years of an artist who later explored a wide range of styles, making it a quiet but worthwhile listen for those interested in the roots of his songwriting. This 1972 pressing on vinyl presents the album in a format that suits the era and style, with a clean, glossy surface that shows only minor light scuffs typical of careful use.

For collectors who appreciate the early days of British singer-songwriters, this record fits neatly alongside similar voices of the time—though it might require a bit more patience than the more polished offerings from his later career. A record that quietly reminds you how even the most thoughtful artists had a \"Very Young\" phase.
