Gate-fold unipack cover, with sticker near top-left on front that wraps around to the back, looks good, a few creases near edges; moderate scuffing and some surface impressions (front\/back\/inner-gate); surface abrasion on front near opening edge affects both back and inner-gate. Inner-sleeve is original (generic white). Spine is somewhat readable with wear. Shelf-wear along top\/bottom-edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use.

Thomas ever had to do professionally. He now had the sound, the style, and the songwriters, all he had to do was offer some more of the same, and that’s precisely what 1970’s \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eEverybody’s Out of Town\u003c\/span\u003e offered. The LP had the same mix of new tunes from major pop songwriters covers of current popular tunes (\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eEverybody’s Talkin’,\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eOh Me, Oh My,\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eBridge Over Troubled Water,\u003c\/span\u003e Jr. Walker’s \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eWhat Does It Take\u003c\/span\u003e), and a host of pleasant MOR material. There are some subtle differences -- there’s a little bit of a heavier soul vibe here, and Bacharach\/David’s shuffling neo-vaudeville tunes somewhat oddly build upon the old-timey vibe of Butch Cassidy -- but the chief allure of the album is its softness, how it can still seem smooth when Thomas is pouring whatever remnants of his soulful past into his phrasing. This may not have much grit, but it’s not meant to: it’s lush MOR, and in that regard it does its job well, if not without a whole lot of distinction. The singles from the album include \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eEverybody's Out Of Town,\u003c\/span\u003e which placed No. 3 on US Adult Contemporary, and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eI Just Can't Help Believing,\u003c\/span\u003e which placed No. 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793654706457,"sku":"SPS-582","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-b_j_thomas-everybodys_out_of_town-02.jpg?v=1783553955","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/sps-582","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
