I boight this when it came out in 1977 and I wouldn't like to say how many times I've played it since. It's never once occurred to me to think about the quality of the recording. Perhaps I have cloth ears, but for me the outstanding thing about this album is the quality of the songs and performances.

It's an outstanding album, as are Nic's other albums. If you can let any perceived technical shortcomings affect your enjoyment, you're missing the point by a mile.
