The album gently navigates from the reflective mood of “The Lady Wants To Know” to the rhythmic pulse of “Down In Brazil,” revealing Franks’ signature soft vocal style and lyrical wit. With Tommy LiPuma producing and Al Schmitt mixing and engineering, the record embodies a polished yet intimate acoustic ensemble feel, inviting focused listening rather than background ambiance. This 1977 pressing brings that sophisticated atmosphere to vinyl with a glossy, very clean surface showing only minor light paper scuffs and faint marks typical for its age. The catalog number BS 3004 marks it as part of the era’s tasteful jazz output, and the vinyl’s condition means it’s ready to hold up well on your turntable. It’s the kind of record that fits snugly between your favorite jazz vocalists and instrumentalists, proving that sometimes, subtlety is the real showstopper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003csection data-track-listing=\"true\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTrack listing \u0026amp; samples\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Franks - Sleeping Gypsy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Lady Wants To Know\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Really Hope It's You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn The Eye Of The Storm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB'wana - He No Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Be Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAntonio's Song \/ The Rainbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChain Reaction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown In Brazil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embeds\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NyznVJggxWo\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/4z3AgcuD8k8rkzXjdDw1ry\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Den Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"VG++ \/ VG+ \/ 1977","offer_id":67677659365692,"sku":"DEN00001226","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/9932\/2684\/files\/ODktNTc0MS5qcGVn_06d1cb2c-64b6-47a7-b5e9-bddd97fb5dd5.jpg?v=1792104751","url":"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/products\/michael-franks-sleeping-gypsy-lp-101526-den00001226","provider":"The Den New Hope PA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
