Ah, but that cover is about as hot as Barney Wilen's Zodiac on 12-inch spread.
It would be nice, I agree, to have both of these out on CD as well... but maybe that'll happen post-sabbatical. I think maybe both the "Chief" and the Shandar would fit on one disc, but that might be opening up a whole 'nother can of licensing worms.
And comparing the reissue with the orig, well, the reissue sounds gorgeous. So there you go. Whether or not it's a needle drop, it sounds really, really clear. It's a well-recorded session in the first place, and I think even a bopper like sidewinder would be hip to this'n.
