Totally agree. Fantasy was starting to do some beautiful sets right before they sold out to Concord, such as the three Trane boxes, the Bill Evans Vanguard box, the Miles 1st Classic Quintet box, etc.

Yes , thanks and welcome!

Fresh Sound has a great set of his Riverside albums.

Got what I needed, thanks everyone!

And amazingly, it got critically shredded when it came out. I always liked it, and time has caused a serious re-evaluation of it. Now recognized as the classic it always was. For instance, Robert Christgau: David Crosby: If I Could Only Remember My Name [Atlantic, 1971] This disgraceful performance inspires the first Consumer Guide Competition. The test: Rename David Crosby (he won't know the difference). The prize: One Byrds LP of your choice (he ought to know the difference). The catch: You have to beat my entries. Which are: Rocky Muzak, Roger Crosby, Vaughan Monroe. D-

I have a ton of them to sell off, just getting time to list them is hard.

Totally agree about the Eagles, and the Jefferson Airplane version of "Wooden Ships" from 'Volunteers' is probably my favorite recording in the history of the world. "If you smile at me I will understand, because that is something everybody everywhere does in the same language" is such a superb opening line, and I would bet that was Crosby writing that line (sure doesn't sound like Stills or Kantner).

$#%$& Paywall

Same here.

Some great songs with the Byrds: "Renaissance Fair" is maybe the most perfect 2 minutes of music in existence. "Eight Miles High" is spectacular, "I See You", "Why", "Everybody's Been Burned", "It Happens Each Day", "Draft Morning", "Tribal Gathering", and "Dolphin's Smile" are all marvelous. "Triad" is sonically gorgeous, though lyrically incredibly narcissistic. I was a huge fan of his Byrds work and of 'If I Could Only Remember My Name', and liked quite a bit else he did. RIP to a unique artist.

Agreed, great stuff! I also have that Fresh Sound 2 CD set.

His studio stuff after the mid 70's was totally useless for me. The live stuff still had a lot of great guitar up to the end.

I bought a used copy of the Michael Bloomfield "From His Head To HIs Heart To His Hands" box set (btw, worst box set name ever?), and have a problem with music disc 3 missing. If anyone has any ideas how I can replace that missing disc, please PM me, thanks!

I sometimes repeat myself when trying to answer from my $%*& phone instead of my beloved laptop!

Thanks so much Tim, so glad you dig that Labelle cut, which has mesmerized me since it came out in the mid-70's. The video was a blast!

Nonetheless a nice symbolic gesture! And we in the mainstream USA heard all of those great Beck-period Yardbirds singles one to two years before we ever heard anything recognizable as Hendrix.

I'd say that Hendrix guy, but I'll take Beck over Clapton for originality, and Page's influence was really in the seventies. Love Peter Green, but he wasn't nearly as influential, largely unknown in USA in the sixties.

His first three solo albums, up through the epic 1971 'Every Picture Tells a Story', were excellent. After that, success spoiled him.

#13 on the pop album charts, and the single hit #11. The album also won a grammy. 'Jazz Workshop Revisited' (#11, with "The Jive Samba') and the album with Nancy Wilson (#30) also did very well on the pop charts, as did the "African Waltz" single (#41).

They actually made six. I have them all on CD. All have highlights and lowlights. Volume One (1966) Part One (1967) Vol. 2 (Breaking Through) (1967) Volume 3: A Child's Guide to Good and Evil (1968) Where's My Daddy? (1969) Markley, A Group (1970)

This is the one I have. Legit release from Real Gone Music.

And to think that a few months later he was playing with Derek and the Dominos, and he wrote and played the piano outro to "Layla"
