I agree on the tactile thing, but the CD-R provides a semblance of that for me.

Me too. For my car, I just make compilations of my favorite cuts by an artist, and play that. I have one by the Byrds I made which I've probably listened to 100 times, others by Spirit, Springsteen, early Steve Miller, etc. I listen to a lot of jazz at home and work, but find rock is what I want to hear in the car, and shorter songs. Just got a car with Sirius/XM after not having it for 6-7 years, so have been listening to that. And they do not serve jazz well at all.

J.O.S. for me.

Yep. I find it jarring to hear the end of Led Zeppelin's "Heartbreaker" without "Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)" kicking in.

Well, you threw two right in my wheelhouse! #1 is "Holy Waters" from Norman Connors' 'Love From The Sun' with Dee Dee Bridgewater, and #6 is "Jihad" from Doug and Jean Carn's "Revelation". Great performance, but I can see how Jean might not have been too happy singing those lyrics, and she split soon after. Her next stop was Philly International Records with Gamble & Huff, quite a change in direction (though she still sounded great on those underrated PIR albums). Lots of other fascinating sounds on this BFT, which I look forward to exploring in more detail. The pianist in #7 sounds like he spent a lot of time listening to the early Cecil Taylor albums, and the group in #13 sounds like they spent a lot of time listening to the first few Mahavishnu Orchestra albums. Looking forward to spending time with this BFT and to the ultimate reveal. I like the organ in #14. I hope others here are willing to let your BFT stretch their ears.

Except that one of the 11 on the US version is "Paint It, Black"!

Nice on the Milt Jackson Impressions!

Quicksilver did killer live versions of Diddley's "Mona" and "Who Do You Love" (25 minutes long) on 'Happy Trails', their masterpiece.

Well, there's apples, and there's oranges. I'm glad for both.

The strings in "There Goes My Baby" were a revelation/revolution. The birth of Soul as a recognizable genre apart from R&B. Can't imagine those Ben E. King/Drifters records without them. Too often in jazz, they represent a watering down of the music. That is not the case in good Soul. Just to up the ante on that great Barbara Lewis record, she also wrote it! The Dells are wonderful in the background on that one.

The US version with the magnficent "Paint It, Black", or the Brit version with the extra cuts?

My favorite of theirs, surprisingly for the two great slow ones, "Oh I Wept" and "Don't Say You Love Me". Actually got sick of hearing "All Right Now" many decades ago, and of all the cuts on the album, it reminds me most of the comparatively inferior Bad Company.

Something sits int he can for 50 years. I have to ask, so snark away, But this one sounds great!.

I saw him once, in the 70's. With the Heath Bros. (Tony Purrone version) at the Empty Foxhole Cafe in the basement of St. Mary's church on Penn's campus. Got to talk to him a little before the show, very kind man from what I remember. https://phillyjazz.us/2015/03/08/genos-empty-foxhole-2/

How are performance and sound quality?

I don't have it, have a couple of the Blue Notes. "Sunburst" and "Heritage", which are quite good, but are less radical and more of their time. The Capitol albums (also sampled on V.1, I believe) are more commercial and less compelling from memory.

It's the two albums, no more and no less.

That, "Love and Understanding", and the delayed-release "Time and the Place" were an amazing run of early 70's masterly recordings!

One stop shopping, thought it'll cost ya:

A third vote for that one, and second votes for the Corea Piano Improvisations, Cowell, Liebman, Corea/Burton, and Witch-Tai-To. Great album, but (just) post 1973 cutoff. I also like Priester's "Polarization", but "Love, Love" is magnificent.
