Leon Redbone – From Branch To Branch – Used Vinyl – NM/ Exc – 1981

1981 first pressing from Emerald City Records from the highly esteemed Leon Redbone. Album is filled with Redbone’s characteristic homage to swing and ragtime music. Vinyl is in excellent shape, just a tad below near mint from my high standards. Sleeve in solid, with original shrink wrap, however there is a tear in the wrap on the back-please see photos.
