 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Leaning keep: this album did make the Billboard 200, although it peaked at a relatively lowly number 107 on June 25, 1977 (this is the following week's Billboard where it is placed at number 166, but you can see the previous week's peak of 107 next to it). It also received a brief review in Billboard on its release in April 1977, and there is another review in the October 2007 issue of Record Collector when the album was reissued along with Dudek's self-titled debut . I know a low chart position and two short reviews may not be enough to convince all editors, but Dudek was by no means a nobody – he got his major label deal with Columbia Records after becoming one of the most highly-respected blues-rock session guitarists of the early 1970s, playing with the Allman Brothers Band (he plays on "Jessica", one of the group's best known tracks), and on Silk Degrees by Boz Scaggs and Fly Like an Eagle by the Steve Miller Band, two of the biggest-selling albums of the year prior to this record coming out, as well as being in the touring band for both artists. Given his pedigree, and the fact his debut album certainly did receive some reviews in the music press, I'm inclined to think there might well be more coverage for this album in the music press of the time. The articles for all of Dudek's albums are currently in an abysmal state, but I have a suspicion that all would pass WP:NALBUM if the sources can be found.

 * Delete since subject fails WP:NALBUM. The musician himself may be notable enough for Wikipedia, but his own notability does not confer article rights to everything he creates. -The Gnome (talk) 06:30, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
