(there are some light surface marks visible on the vinyl when held up to the light but they don’t affect the sound quality apart from a tiny mark at the very start of side 2 which gives 5 clicks on the intro to Motherless Children)
The Steve Miller Band is an American rock band formed in San Francisco, Californiain 1966. The band is led by Steve Miller on guitar and lead vocals. The group had a string of mid- to late-1970s hit singles that are staples of classic rock radio, as well as several earlier psychedelic rock albums. Miller left his first band to move to San Francisco and form the Steve Miller Blues Band. Shortly after Harvey Kornspan negotiated the band’s contract with Capitol Records in 1967, the band shortened its name to the Steve Miller Band. In February 1968, the band recorded its debut album, Children of the Future. It went on to produce the albums Sailor, Brave New World, Your Saving Grace, Number 5, The Joker, Fly Like an Eagle, and Book of Dreams, among others. The band’s album Greatest Hits 1974–78, released in 1978, has sold over 13 million copies. In 2016, Steve Miller was inducted as a solo artist into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Your Saving Grace is the fourth album by American rock group the Steve Miller Band, released in November 1969. It reached number 38 on the Billboard Top LPs chart.
