*** LP ： USA 1970 / Deram - London / DES 18047 ***
■　コンディション　■
B+ / A / SPSE
ジャケット：四隅スレ。上下辺薄スレ、下辺中央5cmほどの底割れ、背表紙微スレ少々。表裏は薄スレ少々でまずまず。中面はわずかな薄シミのみできれい。
ディスク：レーベルはヒゲ無し。盤面はわずかな紙スレ程度の美品です。つまみ聴き試聴の結果も上々でした。
ロンドンのカンパニー内袋付属。

キーフ・ハートレー・バンドの70年3作目「ザ・タイム・イズ・ニア」。
ずばりミラー・アンダーソン上等！の一枚。
曲は1曲をのぞきすべてアンダーソン作。ギター、ヴォーカルもまさに絶好調で素晴らしいパフォーマンスを見せてくれます。
英国情緒満載の楽曲にブラス・セクションの炸裂ぶりも文句なし。ジャズ・ロック的展開もちょうどいい具合に決めてくれます。
過小評価され過ぎの名盤です。
超強力推薦盤。

米国盤です。盤は美品。珍しいDERAM/LONDONのレーベル・デザインがいい感じ。
