Think the 1965 stuff was from the same source as that one JR Montorse thing?

As for the Bill Withers recocord, have a look here" https://www.discogs.com/Al-Jarreau-Living-For-You-1973-tribute-to-Al-Green/release/10371655

and read this:

A producer names Richard Taxe is mentioned. He's easily located here:https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F2/540/961/468482/

So, probably demo sessions or something of that ilk that got held on to by whoever paid for the studio time, and then...

The original Al Green LP appears to have been released in 1979 on the Koala label: https://www.discogs.com/Al-Jarreau-Call-Me/release/2967102

The Bill Withers album has had just a bigass buttload for of issuance: https://www.discogs.com/Al-Jarreau-Aint-No-Sunshine/master/99759

Koala seems to have been one of those Springboard-y type labels that go hold of god know what from god knows who and put it out from god know where, although check out this June Chirsty album that is maybe not even god know what: https://www.discogs.com/June-Christy-And-Koala-All-Star-Orchestra-Willow-Weep-For-Me/release/2576979

Note this, though: Distributed through Album World - A Division of International Record Distributing Associates, Hendersonville, TN 

Check out the Koala catalogue and marvel at the myriad and sundry shady paths possibly traveled by all these materials to Hendersonville, TN!

As pertains to Richard Taxe, I think we may now have a possible lead on the food chain of where those syths came from on the TCB release of So In Love, check this out:

Richard Taxe directed the operation. Stereo records of eight-track stereo tape recordings manufactured by major record companies were purchased on the open market from retail outlets. With specially adapted electronic tape equipment, the commercially acquired records or tapes were re-recorded with changes in one or more of the following respects: the recording speed was increased or decreased; reverberation or echo was introduced; certain portions of the musical sounds were eliminated or reduced in volume; and additional sounds were produced by synthesizers

the '65 lp is REALLY good---- Al didnt get famous until the fusion era....this is him doing regular jazz.  I recommend this lp very much so
