Vinyl plays with occasional light-crackles; clicks near the beginning of "You Don't Know Me" (play-graded). Double LP. Gate-fold cover looks great; a few creases near edges; light-scuffing, and surface impressions (front/back/inner-gate); tiny surface abrasions (front/back); slight discoloration with darker discoloration spots on inner-gate. Inner-sleeve is original (photos/credits); three seams partially split. Spine is mostly easy-to-read with somewear. Shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)
Three albums into his solo career, and Kenny Loggins decides it's time for a double live affair, appropriately titled Kenny Loggins Alive. Such are the perks of launching a career on the back of a successful group -- you can borrow material to flesh out your solo works. This set, recorded between 1978 and 1980, still spends most of its time on Loggins' solo hits, including the non-LP hit I'm Alright, originally featured on the Caddyshack soundtrack. Since Loggins didn't release a hits collection until 1997, this meant that the record was his de facto greatest hits for many a year. This is a good, enjoyable live that boasts solid performances and a good set list that will please casual and hardcore fans alike.
