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.

Saw them live in West Palm Beach in 1971, my first full-fledged arena concert. Heavy, man. My favorite by them is the title track to "One Way Or Another". And later on, Mike Pinera joined, on his way to setting the record for most rock bands fronted in a five-year period (Blues Image, Iron Butterfly, Ramatam. Cactus, Thee Image).

And keep in mind Kloss was 16 when he recorded his first Prestige album, and 21 when he recorded his last one. I think Prestige was well aware of the fast company they had the kid keeping, what with one of the albums titled "In The Land of the Giants". I'm also a fan of the "Essence" album on Muse, with Hannibal Peterson and Micky Tucker. The lead cut, "Love Will Take You There" is my all-time favorite Kloss. And that one is also MIA on CD.

Me too, in several different styles. The American Quartet, the European Quartet, the solo stuff, the long-running trio all have their merits, and are all very different from each other.

Try this one (on Columbia)

Beach Boys and Motown have also had releases which were explicitly made for copyright protection. And that was the case for the 36-CD Dylan live 1966 set, which contained some of the most horrible sounding recordings ever (as well as some marvelous ones).

Coltrane's "The Lost Album" sold over 250,000 copies. There's still a market.
