Rod McKuen – Lonesome Cities
LP, Album, Gatefold | Warner Bros. – Seven Arts Records | Cat. No. WS 1758 | Canada | 1968
A quintessential Rod McKuen record — part spoken word, part song, part travelogue of the soul. Lonesome Cities drifts through Cheyenne, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London, Venice, Cannes, Paris, and Gstaad, weaving McKuen's intimate poetry and vocals over lush orchestral arrangements conducted by Arthur Greenslade. Produced, composed, and annotated entirely by McKuen himself, with back cover photography credited to Frank Sinatra — a reflection of the deep friendship between the two. Canadian green label pressing in a gatefold sleeve.
Condition
- Media: Very Good (VG) — plays well with light surface noise typical of the grade
- Sleeve: Very Good (VG) — solid gatefold, good shape overall
