Tonite:

Quadrophenia; Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers at Keystone 3. Ala Mode from this is one of the best tracks he laid down from any of his groups for all time. The recording sparkles it's so clean (from Concord Jazz vinyl). Cymbals ring out in space and finish completely. The bass player is on fire and his tone and timbre are easily heard in the mix. This is the best I've heard Wynton Marsalis play jazz. Branford is on this too, on alto! Young pianist is a burner . . love the way he plays inside of the theme. This is a mad, mad good ensemble for those of you who don't know; Lara Logic- Pedigree Charm (Rough Trade Records).

I saw Super Session mentioned in the what music are you listening to now circle. I had not listened to it in years. Three great musicians--Al Kooper (BLues Project, BS&T), Mike Bloomfield (Paul Butterfield Blues Band & Electric Flag) & Stephen Stills (Buffalo Springfield, CSN & CSNY). Bloomfield was an incurable insomniac and split after side one was recorded so Kooper asked Stills to come finish the album. I have owned this album for 41 years and it is an excellent recording.

The Live Adventures of Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper

The cover is a Norman Rockwell portrait of Bloomfield & Kooper. This is a live blues oriented jam. Being an incurable insomniac, Bloomfield was up for 5 days and had to be taken to the hospital and sedated to sleep after the 2d show. Al Kooper made a couple of phone calls and Carlos Santana and Elvin Bishop showed up to play on the 3d night. Raw and good.

Jefferson Airplane

A reuniting of the original airplane in 1989 (minus Spencer Dryden). great keyboards and if you were part of the mid 60's, Summer of Love will bring back memories.

Chieftains former flautist. This album features wood flute, acoustic guitar, and Irish drum. Great morning music for lovers of Irish music.

For my money, too much Stills and too little Hillman, but pretty good all the same.

If Only I Could Remember My Name- David Crosby (180 gram remaster from Classic Records). One of HP's go to recordings and he ain't no dummy. I've had one or two copies since the 70's. Many of the west coast musicians from the day you know and love are on this plus a couple Canadians. It's a treasure.

One of HP's go to recordings and he ain't no dummy.

... when I was hunting down HP's Super Disc List decades ago:

I found two different copies of David Crosby: If I Could Only Remember My Name / Atlantic SD 7203.

The first one has a glossy cover:

with the Artisan sign on both sides in the dead wax and handwritten ST-A-712107-A on side one
and ST-A-712108-A on side two (my webcam is not able to take a good picture)

The second one has a textured cover:

in detail:
only with stamped matrix numbers ST A712107-1A on side one and ST A712108-1B on side two.

Which one is the "original" copy ?

The copy I am refering to is marked Atlantic SD -7203 from Classic Records. Comes with my warmest recommendation. HP's favorite track for what reason I don't remember is Laughing. Mine is Cowboy Movie which is pretty much a long jam session. Other parts of the album are like that. Every track is different, two with wordless vocals with lots of people harmonizing. And the sound is room filling fabulous.

Wait a minute. . in very small lettering from the label is printed ST-A-712107-MO and 108 on the second side.

Dear Jim,

I agree with your recommendation of the Bernie Grundman remaster from 2001.

But my question is how to identify the pressing HP listed in TAS, issue 9, spring 1977
for the first time, because I've never found a review.

Regards Toni

The original release had the textured cover.
