bought this on vinyl when it first came out, only played it a couple of times.
must be the best vinyl copy around nowadays, like brand new

Wow, I am floored. Even though it is now 30 years old (!!!), I think
Le Parc is the best example of the contemporary rock sound that TD would resume on
Lily on the Beach. I lost count of how many times I played this when I first got it; loads of great melodies, fine piano playing, and carefully crafted compositions (as opposed to the blander sound that marred many a tune throughout the Miramar albums, though there's good material there, too).
"Le Parc," "Central Park," "Tiergarten," "Bois de Boulogne"...this line-up never disappointed. There may be a mere handful of pieces that the F/F/S config didn't outright impress me with, but by and large they never disappointed, and IMO they never produced anything I'd rate as "dire."
