Cover Has Some Gentle Wear VG+/-, With Seam/Corner Wear, A Ding To Bottom Right Corner & Tiny Dings At Bottom Of Jacket Mouth Edge. "Peter Walker, World-Traveled Guitarist (Spain, Africa And Mexico) Landed In The Right Place At The Right Time In The Mid-'60s. A Student Of Various Musical Forms, He Ended Up In Cambridge In 1965, And Became Musical Director For Timothy Leary's 'Celebrations. Walker's Modal Guitar Explorations Fit The Menu Perfectly. Exploring A Tonal Range That Would Be Best Described As The Perfect L.S.D. Soundtrack, This Album Is A Gentle, Evocative Affair, And Often Recalls Some Of The Passages That Stephen Stills Would Use For "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," Among Others. Aided By Dylan Session Veteran Bruce Langhorn On Percussion (And By Others As Well), This Is A Fine Document Of A Space In Time When Ragas Were Just Becoming Popular In Western Music. In A Certain Way, Walker Was A Visionary, And This Album Shows It." - AMG
